Drown My Sorrows


I drown my demons in the river of my sorrows But the know how to swim And I'm not okay today. Can you show me the light? Time to set fire to the demons in my mind Time to stand up and fight. In the dark, in the dark The demons whisper, whisper In the dark. Freak. Misfit. Worthless. Drown the demons in the river of my sorrows Only to find out they know how to swim. See the light, see the light. Hope my fears don't blow it out. See the worth, see the hope and hold on tight.
