the drown

You know i love you, but i can't watch you drown Head underwater, you keep pushing me down As our hands reach at its surface Grasp for air to fill our lungs Self-fulfilled prophecy, you've finally come true I watch the daylight as it slips from my view, I can't feel its shape around me I don't know what it's become I fear soon it's nothing, we've sunken so deep Watch the life as it spills through the cracks of your teeth Though it burns to let you hold me in your arms You're the only one who loves me in the dark You know i love you, but i think i'm still sick The rot has spread straight from my roots to my libs But i'll carry who i've promised Though they drag me through the ground And i could tell you, but would you understand? Wish i could touch you without using my hands But they thrash without a purpose, Overtaken, left to drown No, i can't keep fighting, i have to come clean At first sight of the bottom, i'll say what i mean But it seems so never-ending, almost gone No, you would only ever love me in the dark But i can't be the one you need If i reflect what's in your eyes, i won't return Like a moth burns out a light Too close to touch, too much to fight And i never learn I never learn Do i let you down? I let you down I can't touch you without burning my lungs out Is it too late now? It's too late now Gasp for air, i know there's nothing but the drown I set myself alight, i lose for what you need But i know you'll only ever love me when i leave
