[Intro: St4ticFilms]

It's one of the most maddening things in the world

When you're really good at something

Like swimming

I'm really good at swimming

But that doesn't mean I'm immune

To being pulled under the water

Like how can I be so good at something

And still struggle so much?

It's like tha-

If you can't tell, this is not about swimming at all

[Chorus: St4ticFilms]

Drown

The pressure's building

As my lungs are filling in

'Cause who could ever

Fight back

Against the overwhelming

Force of the ocean

And if you find me face down

You can presume that I drowned

Thought you'd think it's strangе

A mystery to prying eyes

Thеre was no water around and yet I drowned

[Verse 1: St4ticFilms]

I try to keep myself afloat

In this beautiful world

Just another perfect day

Of sinking further down

With no one around

To help alleviate the pain

And yet the

Dripping, the dripping

It never seems to cease

And then the

Ticking, the ticking

Of the clock

Will never leave

And so I

Try to hide

But I can

Never seem to find

A way to quell my mind and so I

[Chorus: St4ticFilms]

Drown

The surface rising

And the tide is rolling in

Because I never

Fought back

Against the overwhelming

Force of the ocean

And when you find me face down

You would presume that I drowned

Though you'll think it's strange

A mystery to witness live

There was no water around and yet I drowned (Woooooooooah)

[Verse 2: St4ticFilms]

Drifting, floating

Roaming, sinking

Wanting, wishing

Hating, thinking (Thinking)

God no

I hate the thoughts I have

Now the watchful eyes are all I see

If my success is a failure what does that make me?

If I find that I can't keep the happiness to win

Am I stuck? Out of luck?

And the thoughts creep in like... (You'll quit if it gets too tough)

The voices ringing in my head (You'll never be enough)

I know exactly what they said (No matter what you'll never win)

I've heard a thousand times before (Succumb to the waves within, mwehehehehehe)

[Bridge: St4ticFilms]

It's...

It's hard, sometimes

You know I mean

Good things are happening to me

But like

Do I earn these things

If I'm not healthy enough to appreciate them?

I- I don't know

Maybe I just needed to be dramatic about it

Get it out of my system, anyway

[Chorus: St4ticFilms]

Drown (Woooooooooah)

The storm is raging and I'm never getting out

'Cause there is no escaping

The lingering of empty victories and doubt

And every time I take a breath

I'm marching onwards towards my death

As I sink up to my knees

On this ship I built for me

The time is coming now with nobody else around

And I'm falling ever waterbound

One final breath and then I...
