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.
