Salt

When the water was mild
We'd dive underneath the waves
I miss those days when I was a child
Before the ocean became wild
Every thought is sink or swim
And I can't feel my lower limbs

I'm beginning to think that it's all my fault
And I know I've gotta hold on
But it's been so long
Am I not that strong
I-
I'm beginning to think all the future holds
Is concrete walls
Office cubicles
Full of meaningless scrawls

And I can't breathe
You're drowning me
In jealousies
I can't believe

Someone tell me
I'm worth more than endless falls
Another failure I swear wasn't all my fault
And no one answers when for help I call
Another drink of water is another mouth full of salt

When I let all my best friends down
I thought that I wouldn't burden them
When I began to drown and
My dying brain needs oxygen
But it suffocates within
So I don't have to tell them where I've been
I let all my best friends down
So I don't burden them when I begin to drown

And I can't believe
You're drowning me
You've watched me bleed
For your beliefs

Someone tell me
I'm worth more than endless falls
Another failure I swear wasn't all my fault
And no one answers when for help I call
Another drink of water is another mouth full of salt

Can I
Find the sweet in life without dying
They say I won't survive but haven't seen me trying
You'd think it would break them down
To see me crying
If you wanna say you're supportive
Don't let me catch you lying

Someone tell me
I'm worth more than endless falls
Another failure I swear wasn't all my fault
And no one answers when for help I call
Another drink of water is another mouth full of salt

I can't breathe
You're drowning me
