*(Dark bass pulse, sparse distorted guitar, vocals low and haunting)*
**Verse 1**
Maybe I’m too good to be true
You think I’m not enough, deserve more than these ruins
In your head it’s the truth, too bad we agree on the bruise
Drip drip drippin’ acid, no control, no use
You scratched the scab till it peeled raw and loose
Wasting all this time, I know you’ve had enough
Out of patience, baby, calling my bluff
**Chorus**
I feel like I’m drowning
Chasing you far as the current will pull me under
Twisted in the waves, tryna regulate the thunder
Crazy in the deep but it ain’t my fault, wonder
Working on me, please don’t drift away
I can’t get enough, you’re special, not just a phase
Thank you for being you, keep that shit up, babe
Trip trip trippin’... rage...
**Verse 2**
I’ll spiral out apologizing, no excuse in the night
You gotta be tough to stand in this flickering light
You’re my stability when the ground starts to shake and fight
Yes I’m in love, even when it burns out of sight
Drip drip drowning in the words we throw like knives
Acid on my tongue, keeping us barely alive
I know you’re tired, the screaming cuts too deep
But I’m still reaching through the dark, losing sleep
**Bridge** (slow, spoken-sung, echoing)
I’m the black hole pulling you closer to the edge
You’re the door I slam, the silence that I dread
Drowning slow... don’t let me go...
Stability crumbling... but the current won’t let go...
**Chorus** (heavier, layered vocals)
I feel like I’m drowning
Chasing you far as the current will pull me under
Twisted in the waves, tryna regulate the thunder
Working on me, please don’t drift away
Can’t get enough... not just a phase...
Trip trip trippin’ again... in a rage...
Drip drip drowning...
**Outro** (fading bass throb, vocals breaking)
Drip drip... drowning...
Thank you for being you...
Too good... not enough...
Don’t up and go...
I’m sinking...
