Drowning Lessons

I’m taking drowning lessons

In a pool of my own tears

My coach is a perfect dream of you

My only friend is a wounded heart

With broken arms I keep on drowning

Tired legs won’t let me reach the surface

Fake smile escort me to the illusion of splendor

Heartache cheers me to fall deeper

As I drown deeper the wound starts bleeding

[Blood] seals my eyes from the truth

Locks me in the hole of misunderstanding

I’m dying

I see the images of you [in the darkness]

Playing in my mind on slow motion

Using me like a cheap easy-to-use toy

Laughing at me out loud, tearing me apart

Help me get over you

I feel so dumb to see this bitter end of beautiful illusion

As I try to run from fake Eden that swallows me

The reality squeezes me to death

I’m scared of becoming you

Tired of being the slave of confusion

Caught by lies and seductions

Shattered by empty hopes

I open my eyes and wash away the painful darkness

Rip the delusion to pieces

Repair the broken with new direction

I’m alive

Force my hands to move

And my legs start kicking

Tonight you’re everything to me no more

I’m swimming, I’m winning this game
