    • Didn't I tell you, what I believe... Did somebody say that....that love like that won't last? Didn't I give you all that I got to, give baby?

    Drowning

    It's raining... a silence unbroken

    It's everlasting

    The grayness of a broken skyline

    Lay out the waters of its judgement

    I beg of it to purge me

    and now it darkens me with its ceaseless tears

    It is my prison

    I'm drowning in a tumult of emotion

    Going down, under a sea, a raging field of thoughts and pain

    It is destroying me

    I can't break free of my meticulous, precarious situation

    1,000 days 

    1,000,000,000 tears

    I'm drowning but not dying

    My greatest fears lasts forever

    Desparate to be free, but I'm going down

    as if by a spell

    I'm being held down, drowning

    breathing out my life, not breathing anything in

    I gave up because I could go on needlessly

    and I had no other choice

    I've drowned under my own beating heart.

    this is a true example of artist work wearing his emotion on his sleeve, totally open and vunerable... I would die for this type of liberation...
