Drowning for Now

In this water's no reflection

I brace myself for what I see

Now the calm breaks around me and I'm standing face to face

As a bright light surrounds me with a cold embrace

I'll try and break the grasp of the storm raging within

You're drowning

Don't you pretend (that you're not shaking)

That this isn't real

Don't you regret (your reflection is fading)

The eyes that made you feel

And right before it hits the shore

My struggle begins

My limbs grow weak as I'm treading, defending

My lungs are filling, I've lost the feeling, I'm descending

My eyes swell shut and I can see through memories

Gently fading just release me, please release me

You're drowning

Don't you pretend (that you're not shaking)

That this isn't real

Don't you regret (your reflection is fading)

The eyes that made you feel

Now above me falling

Cold sweat runs down my face

My finger tips go numb

As I hold onto this place

So I close my eyes

And I collapse to my knees

It all comes over me

As the wind blows through the trees

In this water's no reflection

So I brace myself

And I cannot pretend

That these eyes they made you feel

Now I know what is real

And I know why I'm shaking

I'm alone in this struggle

In this world that I'm making

Don't you pretend

That this isn't real

Don't you pretend (that your not shaking)

That this isn't real

Don't you regret (your reflection is fading)

The eyes that made you feel

Now I'm letting go and I'm coming home
