I’m drowning in these tear filled streets

And i’m at the point

Where my head and my heart meets

I cant seem to stay afloat

and I try to survive

on the things that I wrote

but these tears seem to cover my face

and i’m running after something

that I can barely chase

these lies that I hold onto

are weighing me down

because of this I will surely drown
