It's pulling me under,
Water sloshing over me,
Dark leviathan tugging, clawing,
It's got me now,
I'm going down,
There goes my breath,
It's up to you.
Hold me please;
I'm drowning.
Gurgling in my lungs,
Boiling, bubbling, viscous,
Black acid rising,
Running through my blood,
Hoods racing through the streets,
Drawing closer,
Here it comes,
I'm going under,
It's up to you.
Hold me please;
I'm drowning.
Grab onto my arm,
Pull me up, slay the beast,
Scare the kids,
Hold me tight,
Spitting, coughing,
Painful wheeze,
Dry me off,
Warm arms,
Safe body,
Keep me close, hold me up,
It's up to you.
Hold me please;
I'm drowning.
