LET ME DROWN - ALEXVNDER

rap, piano, glitchy, glitch, layered, ballad, darkwave trap, hypnotic

[Chorus]
Drown me, let me drown
Let me drown, drown
Let me drown, drown
Let me drown, drown

[Verse]
Heard my time comin' soon, lemme finish my drink
The depression not a choice, it is what it is
Tryna teach a little boy how to swim in the sink
While he daddy in the room, poppin' pills, gettin' bent
Turn to God, I repent, I'm still goin' to hell
Send a nigga up top, I ain't leavin' no shells
When my grandma found out, it was in a hotel
How the fuck I'ma smile when I don't know how it felt?

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh
(Oh, oh, oh)

[Chorus]
Drown me, let me drown
Let me drown, drown
Let me drown, drown
Let me drown, drown

[Verse 2]
I was just sixteen, layin' on the pavement
Still the same nigga, ain't none of that changin'
The moment you believe 'em, the moment they fakin'
Heart cold as fuck, when you touch it, it's flakin'
Casket or prison, what the fuck is the difference?
Still the same judge when you ask for forgiveness
Even when you gone, you gon' always be livin'
As long as you always in my head

[Chorus]
Drown me, let me drown
Let me drown, drown
Let me drown, drown
Let me drown, drown

(Outro — sparse piano, sub-bass hum, vocal chop under)
[Spoken, close-mic, half-whisper]
I seen the nights when the light don't come back,
I seen the ways that the bottle keeps the map.
Taught a boy to float with a sink full of glass,
Left my prayers in the pocket of a past I can't pass.

[Chanted, distant, slowed — bring the drums to a crawl]
Drown me, let me drown — let me drown, let me drown.
Drown me, let me drown — let me drown, let me drown.

[Spoken — barely singing, pitch-shifted, echo]
If I go under, tell my name like it mattered,
Tell the stories of the small hands I tried to save.
Tell 'em I was human and I tried, and I failed,
Tell 'em I loved loud in a quiet that jailed.

[Final Hook — layered falsetto, whisper repeats, each repeat softer]
Let me drown — (let me drown)  
Let me drown — (let me drown)  
Let me drown — (let me drown)

(Final breath — wet vocal fx → click → silence)

Final  breath —  wet  vocal  fx →  click →  silence)
