Drowning

ANTITYPE

Compositor: Andreas Ohnhaus / Anthony J. Brown / Rupert Keplinger

Why do I feel like drowning
Why do I feel like drifting away

You’re the secret I can keep no more
From this vicious wind of this lonely shore

Will you wash away this embittered taste
I can hear your call in the sea’s embrace
Embrace

I'm breathing, not drowning
But moving closer to surrender
Than ever before

Why do I feel like falling again
Why do I breathe like my lungs wish to fail
Why do I feel like falling again
Why do I breathe like my lungs want to fail
Why do I feel like drowning
Why do I feel like drifting away

In this driving rain there’s a calm beneath
And the coming storm conveys a strange relief
Under water with my head held high
There’s a breathless beauty in the starless sky
Tonight

Still breathing, not drowning
But with so little to remember
Of virtue at all

Why do I feel like falling again
Why do I breathe like my lungs wish to fail
Why do I feel like falling again
Why do I breathe like my lungs want to fail
Why do I feel like drowning
Why do I feel like drifting away

My lungs want to fail
I'm breathing (I'm breathing)
Not drowning (not drowning)
But moving closer to surrender

Why do I feel like falling again
Why do I breathe like my lungs wish to fail
Why do I feel like falling again (falling again)
Why do I breathe like my lungs want to fail (lungs want to fail)
Why do I feel like drowning (feel like drowning)
Why do I feel like drifting away

Feel like drowning
Feel like drifting away

(Feel like drowning)
(Feel like drifting away)
