Drowning In Memories

Memories they trace my footsteps
They whisper, they roar
In dreams, in life, now dripping
Making mud of a dusty floor

After all of the good I’ve chosen
Threw my life down in mercy’s name
I can’t escape this torture
Only have myself to blame

I can feel the water rising up
It tugs it yearns to claw me down
Swirling towards the deep dark
Depths, no light or sound
And it always seems to creep in
Leaving me alone out in the deep end
I'm drowning in my memories
But no one sees them

Memories they prowl in silence
When my mind can finally breathe
Each moment lay in waiting
For their depths to swallow me
After all the time I’ve given
You’d think I’d finally find release
I can’t escape this torture
I’ll be dragged back to the deep

I can feel the water rising up
It strains, it aches to claw me down
Swirling towards the deep dark
Depths, my screams make no sound
And it always seems to creep in
Leaving me alone out in the deep end
I'm drowning in my memories
But no one sees them

I'm drowning on land
And barely treading air
My memories are the seas
There’s water everywhere
And with each wave that crashes
It’s like I'm there once more
My feet can’t touch the bottom
And I can’t reach the shore

I'm drowning but dry, I'm
Fighting desperately
My memories are a flood, and I
Don’t think I can save me
And with each wave that crashes
I find myself there once more
There is no bottom below me
I’ll never reach the shore
