Lyrics
You are right, I'll move on but my lungs feel so small
And I couldn't breathe if I tried
I lay my head on the floor
My beating heart wanted more but I'll keep it in and keep you out
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
And for the longest time I knew, there was nothing left for us to do
But I tried, oh I try
And in this quiet company, there is nothing staring back at me
I'm in need of a sound
Hungry for the kill but this hunger, it isn't you
Voices disappear when you are speaking in sombre tunes
I will be the wolf and when you're starving you'll need it too
Hungry for the kill but this hunger, it isn't you
It isn't you, it isn't
And I grew tall to fill the void
Let me go 'cause you are just a shade of what I am, not what I'll be
But in this quiet company, I forget sometimes just how to breathe
Fill my lungs with a sound
Hungry for the kill but this hunger it isn't you
Voices disappear when you're speaking in somber tunes
I will be the wolf and when you're starving you'll need it too
Hungry for the kill but this hunger it isn't you
It isn't you, it isn't
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning, I'm drowning
I'm drowning and I'm drowning
