The Drowning (First Draft)

As I open my mouth seeking to breathe

I start to swallow what surrounds me

As I get near to surface I feel

a heavy weight refusing to let me free

And I drown

won't you share this fate with me?

And I die

won't you finish what you didn't doubt to begin?

As the water flows down into my lungs

won't your saliva do so too?

As the liquid takes over my song

won't you help me take off my shoe?

And I drown

won't you at least fake it with me?

And I die

won't you help me describe what I'm feeling?

And I'm drowning happily

and I'm dying in the sea

And I'm drowning without me

and I'm dying for us to see

und du stirbst ohne Angst mit mir

I won't feel empty without me
