I feel like I’m drowning
In things I thought were true
The life I thought was real
In my shield of hope and faith,
I feel like I’m wasting
In the hut of deceit I lay
Hoping the words were real,
I feel like I need saving
In the stream of pains I swim
Never thought I will shed a tear
Now I’m drowning, in my own tears.
