Drown, Drown, Drowning (Lyrics)

(C) to Brianna Kane. Don't steal or I'mma go all Dexter on yo' ass.

We've neglected the remote,
Lost between cowarded cushions,
I've made a mental note.
The clocks have watched us in rewind,
Knee-deep in a taste to tainted,
So bitterly entwined.

I'm battling the blushing and the wishing to let go,
As our orbit trembles, like a wincing, waltzing tableau.

Drown, drown, drowning within,
Heart sank, lungs giving in.
Down, down, downing the sea.
One, two, ten gulps and I'm free.
Disappearing completely,
I am fading discreetly,
Because I can't swim,
You win.

Framed like old art on the wall,
We succumed to all of our contrasts,
But age isn't at fault.
Cups are half-empty with a look,
So why do I dance these ripples,
Of dreams just over-looked?

I'm battling the blushing and the wishing to let go,
As our orbit trembles, like a wincing, waltzing tableau.

Drown, drown, drowing within,
Heart sank, lungs giving in.
Down, down, downing the sea.
One, two, ten gulps and I'm free.
Disappearing completely,
I am fading discreetly,
Because I can't swim,
I win.

I'm battling imperfections,
Swallowed by the broken waves,
But before I die my passion lifts me,
From the water's cold embrace.

Drown, drown, drowning within,
Heart sank, love's given in.
Down, down, downing the sea,
One, two, ten gulps and I'm free.
Disappearing completely,
I am fading discreetly,
Because I can't win,
I'll learn to swim.

I'm breathing in the atmosphere of having let you go,
This is my farewell, drained all the tears that once overflowed...
