**** This is a cover version. Original song here: https://suno.com/s/V6k8zRucqHBzDay8 **** The clock ticks slow, a digital hum, Another night, the silence numb. My smile's a mask, a painted grace, But shadows gather in this lonely space. The world outside keeps spinning fast, While I'm stuck here, chained to my past. Every breath feels heavy, every thought a stone, Trying to surface, but I'm too far down, alone. The surface is so distant, the light begins to fade, This quiet battle, a choice I never made. Oh, I'm drowning, drowning, in this beautiful sea, A perfect calm that's suffocating me. With every ripple, I pretend I'm strong, But underneath, I know I don't belong. Just drowning, drowning, quietly out of sight, Wishing for a flicker, a small, hopeful light. They ask "Are you fine?" I nod and smile, Another lie that lasts a while. My hands are numb, my vision's blurred, By unspoken thoughts, by every unheard word. I build my walls, brick by silent brick, Just hoping no one sees the magic trick. Every breath feels heavy, every thought a stone, Trying to surface, but I'm too far down, alone. The surface is so distant, the light begins to fade, This quiet battle, a choice I never made. Oh, I'm drowning, drowning, in this beautiful sea, A perfect calm that's suffocating me. With every ripple, I pretend I'm strong, But underneath, I know I don't belong. Just drowning, drowning, quietly out of sight, Wishing for a flicker, a small, hopeful light. Just let me breathe, just give me air! A single moment, show me someone cares! I'm losing grip, the currents pull me deep, A secret chaos that I try to keep! One tiny breath, before I disappear! Drowning... drowning... Out of sight... out of mind... Drowning... drowning... No light... left behind... Drowning... and all alone..........
