Verse 1 Cold closes in around my chest Pressure where my heartbeat rests Every breath is borrowed air I scream but nobody’s there Lights above me start to blur Hands reach out but slip through her— Through me, through what I used to be Now I’m just weight beneath the sea Pre-Chorus I kick, I claw, I try to rise But the surface feels like lies The deeper that I sink inside The quieter my hope gets Chorus I’m drowning underwater No air, no way back home The harder that I struggle The more I’m pulled below My lungs are full of silence My fear is taking hold I’m screaming but the sound won’t travel I’m drowning underwater, alone Verse 2 Thoughts hit like crashing waves Every mistake I ever made Time slows down, my vision bends I don’t know where the bottom ends Gravity feels personal Like the dark is intentional Every second drags me down This isn’t sleep—I won’t wake now Pre-Chorus I see the light but it won’t stay It flickers, then it fades away I’m losing strength, I’m losing ground I don’t know how to save myself Chorus I’m drowning underwater No air, no way back home The harder that I struggle The more I’m pulled below My lungs are full of silence My fear is taking hold I’m screaming but the sound won’t travel I’m drowning underwater, alone Bridge If I let go, would it hurt less? If I stop fighting, do I get rest? Or do I disappear unseen Another shadow in the deep? I count the seconds in my head Waiting for the numb instead Of panic ripping through my bones I’ve never felt this far from hope Final Chorus I’m drowning underwater The surface feels so far I don’t know if I’m sinking Or this is just who we are My hands are reaching nowhere My strength is almost gone If someone hears me, pull me out Before the dark goes on Outro Bubbles rise, I fade to blue If I don’t make it, I was here too
