Drowning
I am drowning
Trying to come up for air
Always being pushed down
Never able to breathe air
Even though it's
Wrong I breath the water
It is all I know

Drowning
I am drowning
No one notices
I tell no one
Fear gripping tighter than my need for air
People laughing, happy, crying
None see the masked pain

Drowning
There is no cure
There is no solution
I sit and I wait
The drowning
The overflooding stream of tears
Everything masked
Pushed
Nothing Released
I am drowning
There is no lifeguard

Drowning
No one notices
No one told
Masked and pushed
No one to save me
No one to hear me
No one to understand
I'm drowning
Drowning in an unconventional way
Unbelievable way
Drowning
