DRIFTING TO DEATH

[Verse 1] I folded up my words real neat, Left them where you’d never look, Didn’t wanna make a scene, Just closed the pages of the book. Every “sorry” stayed inside, Didn’t need to be explained, Some goodbyes are said in silence So they don’t feel like mistakes. I gave away the things I loved, Not the stuff, the time we spent, Every laugh I couldn’t keep I let it go with no regret. If you replay our last conversation, Know I meant it when I smiled, I wasn’t hiding from the truth— I was already at peace for a while. [Pre-Chorus] No fear left in my chest, Just a calm I can’t outrun, I’m not broken, I’m just finished With the war I never won. [Chorus / Hook] I’m drifting… drifting to death, Not sinking, just losing my breath, Everything heavy just left, I don’t feel pain, I don’t feel stress. I’m drifting… drifting to death, Floating past every regret, If I let go, don’t hold me back, I finally learned how to rest. [Verse 2] Tell my people I was grateful, Even when I didn’t say it, I just learned to carry love In ways I never got to explain it. There’s no anger where I’m going, No revenge I need to get, All the names I used to answer to Don’t sound like mine yet. I thought the end would feel like fire, Like the world would break apart, But it’s softer than a memory You replay inside your heart. If you wonder where I went wrong, Please don’t turn it into blame, Some souls just get too tired Trying not to feel the same. [Pre-Chorus] Every tear I didn’t cry Finally let me breathe, I don’t feel like I’m escaping— Feels like being released. [Chorus / Hook] I’m drifting… drifting to death, Not sinking, just losing my breath, Everything heavy just left, I don’t feel pain, I don’t feel stress. I’m drifting… drifting to death, Floating past every regret, If I let go, don’t hold me back, I finally learned how to rest. [Outro] This ain’t a tragedy, It’s just the quiet after the sound, If you miss me, don’t search the sky— I’m nowhere And that’s alright now.
