Sinking Slow


These frigid waves

They drown me out

And I can't breathe

As I sink down 

Swimming strong

Sky is bleak 

But this cold

Will make me weak

Chances died

Long ago

Can't fight as 

I'm sinking slow

Helpless pleas

Gripped with fear

"Help me, please"

But no one's here

I'm all alone

I've been to cold

I guess I'll keep on 

Sinking slow
