Drowning

Got a nice tight grip
So do I slice the wrist
Like this?
First and final performance
Up on that violin
No encore standing
Ovation then I'm gone
Dark blood red in my glass
I hit the floor
Shattered I will drown
In the pool of broken souls
Not a single memory of
When my days were golden
Either way the finale is
When the casket makes
The grand closing
To the dirt where I started
Forget a platinum coffin
Plant my body in the dirt
I'll grow a famine
For the heartless
Take me to a lower plane
Anchors on my ankles
Tied with everything
I've gained and
I'm drowning.

I'm still holding on
To all my broken dreams
Shadows from my past
Keeps trying to get
The best of me hey
And I'm still holding on
When I'm hearing your voice
I know this is right
Where I want to be hey
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I still keep holding on.

Got a nice tight grip
So do I slice
The wrist like this
First and final
Performance up on that violin
No encore standing
Ovation then I'm gone
Dark blood red in my glass
I hit the floor
Shattered I will drown
In the pool of broken souls
Not a single memory of
When my days were golden
Either way when that casket
Makes the grand closing
To the dirt where I started
Forget a platinum coffin
Plant my body in the dirt
I'll grow a famine
For the heartless
Take me to another plane
Anchors on my ankles tied
With everything
I've gained and I'm drowning.

I'm still holding on
To all my broken dreams
To all my broken dreams
Shadows from my past
Keeps trying to get
The best of me hey
And I'm still holding on
When I'm hearing your voice
I know this is right
Where I want to be.

Mom's in the kitchen
Washing dishes with her tears
Got me fiending
For success damn
I'm wishing it was here
Ballers on the yachts
Fishing with official gear
But I can still catch a winner
While I'm fishing
Off the peers
I can eat pride
But it brings sharp pains
To my heart veins being
Humble is hard thang
Is a product of the earth?
Destined to be cursed?
Life's a bitch can't
Make this work damn it
Hurts every time we flirt
My status minimum worth
And it won't stop falling
Them high rollers
Shot callers hope
I don't stop crawling
My right hand man said
That I have what it takes
To blow out these
Candle rappers and bring home
The sweetest cake
What a waste.

I'm still holding on
To all my broken dreams
To all my broken dreams
Shadows from my past
Keeps trying to get
The best of me hey
And I'm still holding on
When I'm hearing your voice
I know this is right
Where I want to be
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I still keep holding on.

Forever I want to
Drown down here
Nobody else seems to care
Please don't make a sound
It's all about me right now
Why the hell am I here for?
Why the hell am I here for?
Tell me now I'm still holding on
To all my broken dreams
To all my broken dreams
Shadows from my past
Keeps trying to get
The best of me hey
And I'm still holding on
When I'm hearing your voice
I know this is right
Where I want to be
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I still keep holding on.
