Drown

this is my first cut on a new piece. It's probably not about what you think it is about.



Every time that
I drown myself
I loose control
Become somebody else

It sinks on in
From my head to my feat
Nothing below
But
So much above

And I loose control
I enter so deep
Can’t help myself
My only release

So WHY cant
Please control me
Take a hold and
Guide me to what’s right
So WHY cant
Please hold me
Please direct me
Help me breath tonight

Oh it takes its toll
It bears down on me
I search for a passage
Some form of release

I’m loosing my mind
So I’ll drown myself tonight
I do it again
Each day and each night

So WHY cant
Don’t control me
I want to own me
See a freedom
Leading away from here tonight
So WHY cant
Don’t show me
Find my own way
Something to keep me
Retain a completed life

Need a little something
Keep my mind off pain
To distract my thoughts
To trick my brain

I dig in deep
I drown my life
I stay my course
Consume my time

I drown my world
Not giving in
Don’t want rewards
For the life I live

No I can’t turn back
If I run full pace
If I set high goals
Just to stay in grace

So WHY cant
Please control me
Take a hold and
Guide me to what’s right
So WHY cant
Please just hold me
Please direct me
Help me breath tonight
So WHY can’t
So WHY can’t
So WHY can’t
I just drown my soul
Stay consumed by what’s in the light
The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

And I won't make the same mistakes
(Because I know)
Because I know how much time that wastes
(And function)
Function is the key

    Now I'm super curious. What do we think it is a bout? and what is it really about? Care to shed some light or are you keeping it to yourself?

    I like it either way, they way it sounds when I read it.

    are you going to share what you are referring to? rather curious... :)
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    I am listening to "Life and Limb" by Fugazi; The beat of the song, goes right along with your work. Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Can't you see that there's light in the dark.
    Nothing's quite what it seems in the city of dreams.

    Reading the bible and getting closer to God's grace?

    Really...I'll have to check it out. I wrote something, a while back, to the beat of 'burning too'
