sink and drown


I use to like to swim
Sun shining down on me
And there was always him
He had the key

But then he swam away
And left me out at sea
The ocean breeze then came
And set me free

I'm falling in the ocean 
The hurricane has set the motion.
Rain is pouring down with thunder,
And waves are taking me down under. 

Just let me sink and drown, 
I dont want to hold my breath. 
Dont try and save me now, 
You're the one that caused my death.
