Breathing In Water

A cold day last December I stood here by the shore
Watching the winter sunset, a brand new year reborn
A somber dark year later and nothing yet has changed
My problems still reside, and my desperation’s still the same
I'm buried six feet under all the lies and broken dreams
Everything I thought I knew is no longer what it seems
There’s no one left to rescue me from this hell that they call life
It’s getting harder to breath with every mornings suffocating light
Now I’m floating in this ocean of lies and bitter deceit
My eyes are slowly closing as I begin to feel defeat
I look back at the shore with my memories of all the pain
I’m dancing with my heartache and the excruciating shame
I lower myself into the water and feel my lungs congest
Then feel the emptiness around me beating coldly in my chest
I draw closer to the surface gasping for this crucial air
I gaze back to the surface to see if anyone was there
When no one came to save me from the frozen hands of death
I crawled back to the sea shore with all the strength that I had left
I laid down in the sand and looked up to the sinister skies
Then closed my eyes and wondered if this agony would ever die
