Sinking

Have you ever

Felt like you were mourning

Over yourself

Have you ever

Convinced yourself that

It's all downhill from here

Yeah, it's over

As the water fills my lungs

The voice in my head

It speaks in tongues

And what it says to

Me

Is: "Boy, you've gotta come clean

About everything"

I've been sinking

And drifting

Away from the surface

And I'm thinking

Of things to say

What's my purpose

I close my eyes

And picture all the people

I've wronged

I know they

Despise me

For all the right reasons

They had all along

I remember

All those things I said when

I was a kid

I was hurtful

I had bad intentions

Now I play scenarios again

In my head

As the waiter fills my cup

I say "Thank you, sir

But, I've had enough"

And what he says to

Me

Is: "Boy, you've got to come clean

About everything"

I've been sinking

I'm drifting

Away from the surface

And thinking

Of things to say

What's my purpose

I close my eyes

And picture all the people

I've wronged

I know they

Despise me

For all the right reasons

They had all along
