Distance At The Expense Of Drowning

Distance at the expense of drowning.

I drown in a sea of black

Darkness envelops my last laugh

The demons they, consume what has been left

And the demons of my past consume what is left

As the weight of my tears, collapses on my chest

As i drown in this sea of regret

Im swimming through the worst of tides and hoping for the best

Compassion is gone my hearts dead, its broken

And i struggle past every wave

Trying to fight back the current, that these sins have made

But i can feel this ocean pulling me deep

Keeping me from finding the truth that i seek

I wish that i could tell you

But i bite my tongue and i swallow

The blood, and pray that one day,

I dont feel so distant and far away

So look into my eyes, cause i feel your pain

And tonight a bite my tongue and swallow the blood

Cause i know it chokes us both....

Feel my breath as cuts through your skin

Your open scars have become your best friend

Now your alone remembering when

When your sky had fallen

This is how i deal with pain

And keep myself from drowning everyday

If only i could, learn from my mistakes

If only i could, walk away.
