Drowning

I never dealt with the feelings. I just deferred them for a while.
The pain that's there has resurfaced. Killing me from within.
There is no help for a shattered soul. Torment endless, time won't stop.

Floating down into the darkness. I want this to end.
Drag me down into the water. Feel the sadness, sinking slowly, water rushing in.
Sitting in the undertow. Can't escape, can't let go.

There's no help for the dark ones. I am all alone.
You can't save me from myself. I want to be free.
Cut the tether, jump on in.

Floating down into the darkness. I want this to end.
Drag me down into the water. Feel the sadness, sinking slowly, water rushing in.
Sitting in the undertow. Can't escape, can't let go.

I see the reaper walking toward me. Come my friend don't go slowly.
Take me from this hell I'm living. Tell me that there's something more.
Don't say there's nothing, this can't be the end.
This isn't over, I can't give up

Floating down into the darkness. I want this to end.
Drag me down into the water. Feel the sadness, sinking slowly, water rushing in.
Sitting in the undertow. Can't escape, can't let go.

I won't go softly into this night.
Fighting until the bitter end. To taste a better life.
You can't take me from this world. I see a light shine through the darkness
Beckoning me, enticing. Can this be true.

Climbing up out of the darkness. I can't let this end.
Break the surface, realize that you have been set free.
Use the flame from within. To cauterize your wounds.
