shipwrecked
but oh god, 
 i feel like I can’t breathe
 my head is goin’ under 
 and i’m sinking in the sea
 what do i do?
 i never learned to swim
 the water’s pressing on my lungs
 and i gotta let it in
 ‘cause the waves are too high
 and the water’s too deep
 the tide is like a lullaby
 putting me to sleep
 and i’m at the bottom of the ocean
 my heart is stopped, my mind is floatin’
 i can’t see the surface anymore
 i’m buried beneath the ocean floor
 my lungs stopped cryin’ for air
 i let myself be carried in the waves of despair
 now i’ve sunk down, down, down to where darkness lies
 quickly, like an anchor, i dropped in the blink of an eye
 now i’m just a broken piece of another huge mistake
 just a memory of playing pretend and being fake
 i’m lying at the bottom of the ocean
 i’m already buried, already forgotten
 just another shipwreck
