drown me out

someday i might have known you, or maybe someone else

one day i thought i found you, but i lost myself

because i know now, that this is where i’d like to be

but sometimes seems it’s the only place that won’t welcome me



just drown me out



i want to be behind those eyes, i’d favor your world over mine

i’d like to find myself inside, but all the doors stay locked behind

running circles and going nowhere, i’d like to be someone with a destination

how i’d like to live something called a life, i wish yesterday was just a hallucination



just drown me out



so much more than prepared, to sink in despair

more than ready to watch them leave me behind, because i’ve already left them

left myself forever missing, something i never had to begin with

i’ve hallowed out that space, of the nothing we had between us



just drown me out



i am empty, hallow inside, drifting down this ocean

these miles and miles of nothing, inside my one inch shell

i don’t want anything, never needed everything

just fill this shell up with water, and drown me out
