Drown to the Sound of the Ocean

Everythings lost in a fog, drowned out in a haze

I don't understand why I can't live out each day.

A smothered hate continues to manifest inside of me

I close my eyes to block out the rage burning free.



My hands are balled up, my breath is falling short

I don't understand what I continue to live for.

The words cut deeply, the pain is starting to show

I can't hide myself now, though, I've no where to go.



I bury myself inside of my mind, maybe I'll drift there

But it never seems to work. Somehow, I'm still here.

These struggles continue to grow and I'm baring it alone

Every day is yet another; and this agony continues to grow.



I smell the salt in the air, I hear the waves crashing

My insides are crawling and my mind is now thrashing -

for a haven away from this place, away from the faces

of those that dissapoint me; it's all the fucking same.



I'll drown it all away, let myself fall freely through this

Maybe if I close my eyes, I can make this simple wish -

To rest for the first time in years, stop with the tears

and maybe, if it's possible, rid myself of these miserable fears.
