Drown Me

tossing hopes into a never-ending stream
spreading arms
releasing dreams
i allow them to float along
disguised
i'd be lucky if you could only find them
but i'd be a fool to think you could
you've moved on
changed direction
speed
choice
didn't choose me
paralyzed
wading in my own stream
filled with all my fears
i try to drown them
they only resurface
gain consciousness
knee-deep in heartache
waist-deep in pain
kill my thoughts
drain my memory
i'm sinking again
grabbing for ropes
nothing's there
gasping for air
you wouldn't care
going under
further
choking
choking
choking
on my own hopes and fears
love
pain
sorrow
tears
dead
