Drown
Take me down, make me the clown.
Suck it up and breathe it in.
Let me drown, take me down.
Breathe it in and cut the skin.
A mask to hide your face behind.
Why can't I know what's underneath?
"Because, I don't know what you'll find!"
You scream, already hanging in defeat.
Maybe there's more, maybe it's all war.
Before you take me down, making me a clown,
Know what it is that you're fighting for.
Do me the favor, TELL ME WHY I HAVE TO DROWN!
