The idea came from this song waves by dean Lewis but the story is entirely mine be warned There is implication of suicide.


Drowned in the waves

It comes and goes in waves
It hits you with every thing it has harder each time

Slowly becomes too much dragging you away
Make it stop

Sleep comes with red puffy eye and a raw voice
Waking up is a chore everything feels to heavy to move
So don’t

Waves comes and goes drowning you more and more
A pain in your head a voice saying let it stop
Drowning with no one to save you
Alone

Daddy is never there and when he is it makes it worse
Mommy can’t help you anymore she can’t understand
Brother is too caught up in drugs and drinks so he can’t remember last night
Sister has her own problems, throwing each one on you

The waves getting bigger

Work, school, home

Waves falling with the weight of the world

Sister, mom, dad, brother

They think your happy because you never cry
Yes you do

But they just never hear you and if they do they would never pry
Not one Asking are you ok

Pulling away deeper in the water like a shell to be lost forever
disappearing

Waves crashing don’t drown you anymore
How can they when you’re gone

The pain is gone but not the voice
Let it go

Sleep is not with red eyes
All out of tears

The stars are not as bright, the rain is a friend,
Reality is blurry
Are you dreaming

It comes and goes in waves but now you are not there for it to hit
It all ready drowned you

You listened to the voice and it all stopped
You are not dreaming so let it go

Drowned in the waves
