Drowning

it´s four a.m. again
father, forgive me this sin
uncomfortable in this life, yeah
I can´t put down this knife, yeah
I´m carving words in my arms, baby
hey, scars are part of my charm, maybe
I need the touch of a hand
this isn´t what i had planned
[Chorus]
I need relief from this life
I wanna slip away into the night
don´t wanna see the sun again
but can´t get swallowed up by this tragic whirlwind
I wish the ocean was warm
I feel like drowning
I´m losing my faith in me
I can´t remember the last time i felt free
from voices inside my head
when I taste liberation, they just feed me fear instead
you say I´m out of control
at least i still have a soul
no, I don´t need your advice
some compassion would be nice
[Chorus]
I can´t take any more of your pills
they hold my head up
but still it feels so wrong
I can´t believe the price that I´ve paid
for this chemically-induced, perceivably ideal, take-it-with-a-glass-of-water day
father, forgive me this sin
uncomfortable in this life, yeah
I can´t put down this knife, yeah
I´m carving words in my arms, baby

I wanna slip away into the night
don´t wanna see the sun again
but can´t get swallowed up by this tragic whirlwind
I wish the ocean was warm
I feel like drowning
I´m losing my faith in me
I can´t remember the last time i felt free
from voices inside my head
when I taste liberation, they just feed me fear instead
