Drowning Dreams - Lyrics

I love this
This numbness
There’s nothing
Above this

This gluttony
Starts subtly
Then consumes
Me utterly

Here with the lost
The lost and the blind
I’m exhausted, confined
I’m complete; I am mine

My dreams were drowned
I held them down
Forced them under till they choked
And struggled while I joked
My dreams were drowned
My dreams were drowned
Yeah

This is not the man I’m meant to be
This is not the man I’m meant to be
This is not
This is not

A weakness
For sweetness
So tragic
So needless

Stick to the lies
The lies, the deception
That hide this obsession
That I never mention

My dreams were drowned
I held them down
Forced them under till they choked
And struggled while I joked
My dreams were drowned
My dreams were drowned
Yeah

This most beautiful gift
The gift of time
I smashed it all up
So it cannot be mine
Kept my anaesthetic dose up
And all that pathetic hope up
While I waste and waste and waste
This most beautiful gift
The gift of time

This is not the man I’m meant to be
This is not the man I’m meant to be
This is not
This is not
