Growing Gills
By violetfyre
You no sooner pick yourself up When you find you're being beaten down And the only thing between you and sleeping in Is the thought that you'll probably never wake up again And it might not be that bad. I know what giving up is like But have you ever tried breathing underwater? You say the world is so cold Despite the prospect of global warming And even though you're dreaming now You're still so afraid to turn the lights out But it might not be that bad. I know what losing is like But have you ever tried breathing underwater? Love is dead and pain is listening But as long as I'm around There will still be self-pity and self-contempt I've lied so long, everything I say is true And you still refuse to believe me I am driving my life into the ground And you're smiling into the sky I'm afraid of flying And you're afraid of dying But you know it's not so bad. I know what living is like. It's the same as breathing underwater. ** Written July 28th, 2000 © on Oct 04 2001 04:26 AM PST 18 • 0 • 10
