Drowning in the Well

The water’s rising past my chest And I can’t breathe, I can’t forget You were the storm I couldn’t leave Now all that’s left is memory Your voice echoes down the stone Cold reflections, all alone Tried to climb but lost my grip Now the well’s my final gift Every lie I told myself Was a chain around my soul You walked away, I fell Now I’m sinking where the shadows go I’m drowning in the well of everything we were Suffocating in the silence, I can’t find the words But the deeper that I fall, the more I start to see That the darkness wasn’t killing me— It’s setting me free Every heartbeat turned to stone Every promise broke the bones Of the man I used to be Buried deep beneath the sea But somewhere in this undertow I found a light that starts to glow From the ashes, from the pain I’m not the same, I rise again Let the current pull me down Let the silence fill the sound In the dark I learned to breathe And finally I believe I’m drowning in the well of everything we were Suffocating in the silence, I can’t find the words But the deeper that I fall, the more I start to see That the darkness wasn’t killing me— It’s setting me free. You left me here to fade away But I found peace inside the pain Now the water whispers my name And I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid I was drowning in the well of everything we were But I surfaced through the silence, reborn through the hurt Every scar became a star that’s guiding me What was meant to break has lifted me The darkness didn’t end me— It set me free
