DROWN LYRICS

1. I Owe You

Wasting time on my own thoughts
Pulling me in so deep
Thoughts of you in our little world
It makes me cold
It makes me weak

I self destructed
I reconstructed
I owe this all to you
For a while you let me forget myself
But once again
The real me is alive

I put myself here
Look what it's done to me
I'll keep myself here
Now watch me bleed

I wanted to believe in you
I tried to believe in the lie
It was a lie
Now you see what it did to me
It was a lie

I'm self reliant
I'm self confidement
I owe this all to you
You showed me that I'm the only one I know
So once again
The real me is alive

I put myself here
Look what it's done to me
I'll keep myself here
Now watch me bleed

I was taken apart by what I never knew
I was taken apart
The ugly part of you
The ugly part of you

Spend time with the broken man
I owe this all to you

I was taken apart by what I never knew
I was taken apart
The ugly part of you
You

2. Pieces Of Man

I was awake
Alone - afraid - confused
The only love I knew
The only love I knew
You were the only love I knew
And I was afraid

Scars don't heal
When they grow on the inside
The mind can't kill
What it sees on the outside
Too young to know
Too young to understand
Force fed the real thing
I didn't know what it meant back then

And now you wonder what went wrong?
How can you wonder what went wrong?

Love wasn't explained
Try spending that much time alone
I know this pain
Over time it only grows
Didn't want to believe
Tried not to let it show
Everything inside me
You took more than you'll ever know

And now you wonder what went wrong?
How can you wonder?
You were wrong

Pieces of man
I'm learning the hard way what I am
Pieces of man
Destroyed - destroyed

Fistful of control
You planted this seed inside
Too many times
Too many times
This time you can't deny
You were wrong

Pieces of man
I'm learning the hard way what I am
Pieces of man
Destroyed - destroyed

I was afraid - I was alone - confused
I was afraid - I was afraid
You were the only love I knew
And I was afraid - afraid

Pieces of man
I'm learning the hard way what I am
Pieces of me
Destroyed - destroyed

You were wrong

3. Beautiful

Like an animal
Senses fear
Chills up my spine
I know you're here
It's been so long
So what did you expect?
I know where you've been
And I disrespect
I feel sickened
I choke and spit up words
They all mean nothing
It's all absurd
Your body has been used up
Your mind has changed direction
I can't believe I touched you
I can't believe it
Inside I wish it wasn't true
It makes it hard to look at you
Ugly I feel
My body's inside you
Tongue in - tongue out
I can taste him on you
You're naked as a child
Your innocence is gone
Given away for nothing
And I hate what's left
Inside I wish it wasn't true
I makes it hard to look at you
I close my eyes - I close my mind
But it makes nothing go away
Look back in anger
Look back in pain
Look back in disrespect
It's you I can't respect
I look back in anger
And it's so hard to look back
I close my eyes - I close my mind
But it makes nothing go away

4. What It Is To Burn

This time you couldn't walk away from me
This time there was nowhere you could hide
This time I wanted all the answers
This time I really thought I was prepared

But now I know
I know I wasn't ready
And now I know
I know what it is to burn
I know what it is to burn

This time you couldn't turn your back on me
This time you had to leave me paralyzed
This time I thought it's what I wanted
This time I know that I was wrong
'Cause I know about it this time
I thought I wasn't human
This time I really thought I wouldn't feel
I wish I didn't know
I wish I didn't feel
I wish I could forget
But this time it's for real
Some things you just don't want to hear
Not this time

But now I know
I know I wasn't ready
And now I know
I know what it is to burn

I wish I didn't know
I wish I didn't feel
I wish I could forget
But this time it's for real

I wish I didn't know
I wish I didn't feel
I wish I could forget
But this time I know what it is to burn

5. Longing

I feel ugly, I'm so tired
Trying to make it all make sense
I ask you to hold me
Hold me like never before
I might break
I don't know how much more I can take
I ask you
It's getting to me again
I know you've never seen me like this
It's getting to me again
You don't want to see me like this
I'm spitting up life again
I'm feeling it all again
Choking
I don't want you to see me like this
Lay your hands on me
Your skin is warm
You could heal me - heal me
Just show me there's more
I know you've never seen me like this
I never wanted you to see me like this
Choking
I don't want you to see me lie this
I don't want you to see me lie this
I don't want you to see me lie this
I never wanted any of this

6. Transparent

Look at how they look at you
Used up again
Feel
Feel how they're treating you
Only for their use again
Respect
They've never seen it
Another one is how they see it
Only in this to be used
You're only in this to be used
Hands on mine
Hands all over me
Scarring my mind so easily
Hands all over you
Tearing every part of me
Hands all over you
There's always something that reminds me
I've been there before
Deep inside the innocent
I've laid there before
Feeling transparent
But this time it's you
I'm in love with what they've all used
I'm afraid to say it
I know you know it
Hands on mine
Hands all over me
Scarring my mind so easily
Hands all over you
Tearing every part of me
Hands all over you
There's always something that reminds me
Live - lust - life
Live - I tried to live
Lust - I tried to forget
Life - I tried
But it's you

7. Lost

I lay here silent
How do I tell her
How far away I feel
With every breath she tries to hold tighter
But far away is all I feel

You needed a hand and I tried to be that hand
But life is yours to hold
Strap down tight it's going to be a long ride
It's time you ride alone

Then she said I found god
But I'm not the god you see
Don't leave me like this
Alone, she said
I died to be with you
I took my own life with my own hands
Listen to me
'Cause I can't save you
Listen to me - listen
I've got to save myself

Then she said I found god
But I'm not the god you see
Put your nails in me
She said she's never felt alive

Then she said I found god
But I'm not the god you see
And could never be
No, I can't save you
Put your nails in me

8. Reflection

Too much time - has gone by
Take a look back on that life
I see your eyes - I see myself
And I can't look back on that life

Forced to listen - forced to learn
With the sounds of the lonely
I remember now - it takes me down

Leave me - leave me - now

Dislocated - I walked away
You feel the walls - begin to build
You were the one
I'm sorry but you could've been anyone
I see you now - you show me everything

Forced to listen - forced to learn
To the sounds of being all alone
I remember now - it takes me down

Leave me - leave me - now

I remember now - it takes me down

Leave me - leave me

It never leaves - never

9. Arms Full Of Empty

I feel so different now
It all feels so different now

I had you in my life once
I had that feeling of the real thing once
But now you're gone
And that's all gone
Inside, I held on to you once
I never knew there was two of us once
But now I'm alone
And it's all gone

I gave my body and my mind to you once
I thought it all revolved around you once
I know better now
But I'm too far gone
I would have died for you once
And I thought it would have mattered to you once
But now you're gone, and I'm so far gone
And I'm wrapping my arms around myself
I'm free
I hold onto all that I am
But I know that the one I hold onto is dying

I feel so different now
It all feels so different now

10. Everything

So you don't believe
No, you don't believe
Said you can't believe
You can't believe in me
Well I've learned to need
And I've learned to need
And I've learned to need that I don't need you

You were something
I thought you were everything
You were nothing
Somehow you were everything

But I forgive myself
I forgive myself
I'll learn to forgive myself for what I've done
I could taste it - I could feel it
I became it - and I want it

It was something
I thought it was everything
It was nothing
It turned into everything

If I could - yeah I would
If I could - everything
If I could - yeah I would
If I could

So I've gone too far?
Have I gone too far?
Yeah I've gone too far
So what, what is too far
Am I breathing?
Am I bleeding?
Am I dying?
I just don't know

It was something - it was something
I thought it was everything
It was nothing - it was nothing
It turned into everything

If I could - yeah I would
If I could - everything
If I could - yeah I would
If I could

There is no choice but to look inside
Look around you
They'll let you down
They'll disappoint you
They'll take you to the bottom
And they'll leave you there
They'll let you down
Look around you
You don't need this

I thought it was everything

If I could - yeah I would
If I could - everything
If I could - yeah I would
If I could

Goodbye
Goodbye to everything
