Drowning

[Intro]
Whispers in the dark, sinking deep below
Lost in the tide, where no one seems to go
Lights fade away, shadows in my mind
Calling out for help, but silence is all I find

[Verse 1]
Waves crashing over, I'm trying to stay afloat
A silent scream inside, stories nobody knows
Every breath a struggle, caught in this endless night
Hoping for a dawn, praying for a light

[Pre-Chorus]
But the water's cold, and I can't break free
Drowning in my thoughts, longing to be free
If tears could save me, I’d cry them all away
But the silence lingers, stealing my day

[Chorus]
I'm drowning in an ocean of pain
Lost in the waves, calling your name in vain
Can somebody see? Can somebody hear?
I'm fighting for breath, fighting my fear

[Bridge]
Hold on to hope, though it feels so far
Shattered dreams on the shore, like a broken star
Even in darkness, a flicker of a spark
Guides my way back through the night, through the dark

[Chorus]
I'm drowning in an ocean of pain
Lost in the waves, calling your name in vain
Can somebody see? Can somebody hear?
I'm fighting for breath, fighting my fear

[Outro]
If I disappear beneath these waves
Would you feel the loss, or just walk away?
But I still hold on, to the hope within
Waiting for the tide to turn, for life to begin
