The Drowning


Drowning in the darkness of the sea,

What has happened to me?

 

One attack turns my world upside down,

There I go, I hit the ground,

How can I turn my life around?

 

Every single day,

I walk through the grey,

Living is like finding a needle in hay,

Are there any demons that I cannot slay?

 

Life and death seem the same,

Look at my ruins, All that remains,

How can I get outta the rain?

 

The Drowning turns the tide of the war?

What am I fighting for?
