Drowning in a sea of apathy.
The current is to strong for me.
It's hard to spend my whole life swimming,
letting water fill my lungs.
The cement shoes of this life,
drag me further down the abyss.
The deeper I go, the colder the water.
It intensifies the chill.
As oxygen is depleted,
it will make me just like you.
Oblivious to all humanity,
as all concerning thoughts go neal.
Most everyone else that i know,
lost this struggle long ago.
They gave it up without a trace,
letting frigid waters seal their fate.
Minutes turn into hours,
and hours into days.
The years pass by, leaving me wondering why?
I tire of the fight.
Being like you, so cold and blue,
let it take me under.
I want so bad to give it up,
I feel the battle is over.
