The smile on

[Ambient Intro] I write my storms in pencil Then bite the words in two My mind is a hallway With one flickering bulb [Synth Interlude] (Lead synth melody) [Verse 1] I tie my shoes too tight Just to stay inside the day And every laugh in the room Feels a mile away [Chorus] I'm drowning, drowning With a smile on I'm drowning, drowning And the sky feels wrong Hold me close Till the wave moves on I'm drowning, drowning But I sing along [Verse 2] The sink is full of old replies And cold forgotten names My phone lights up like summer Then leaves me in the rain I fold my pain like laundry Hide it in the drawer But it leaks through every seam And hits the floor [Pre-Breakdown] I keep my face up I keep my hands still But the water keeps climbing Up the windowsill I say I'm fine Like a prayer on repeat While the tide in my chest Won't let me speak [Breakdown] I keep my face up I keep my hands still But the water keeps climbing Up the windowsill [Atmospheric Bridge] If you see me slipping Don't look away Name the dark in the room Then stay, just stay There is poetry In the way I break But I need a hand Before I sink again [Chorus Variation] I'm drowning, drowning With a smile on I'm drowning, drowning And the sky feels wrong Hold me close Till the wave moves on I'm drowning, drowning Still holding on [Instrumental Climax] (Synth solo, cinematic lead theme) [Final Chorus] I'm drowning, drowning With a smile on I'm drowning, drowning And the sky feels wrong Hold me close Till the wave moves on I'm drowning, drowning But I sing along [Outro] I'm drowning, drowning And I won't be gone I'm drowning, drowning And I won't be gone
