Dont hold me down

I'm losing
My mind
My life
Everyone's abandoned ship
Darling I'm sinking enough
On my own so please
Im begging don't hold me down

I don't get close
To the human race
Because just as I get
Use to the fast lane and quick pace
I'm kicked to the curb
But this time will be different
Cause I'm taking you down with me

Oh baby hold your breath
The waters cold and were sinking slowly
We're falling straight for death
I got close and now were drowning
But I won't go alone
No not again
This time I'm taking you down with me

I handed you my life
The only way you could respond
Is with a knife behind your back
And fake smile on your face
Why me is what I'd ask
If only I saw it coming yeah

Every day I savage the sunlight
From under the water
Where we lie
Where I pulled you down to die
We were sinking and I grabbed and your hand
As you got up to stand

Oh baby hold your breath
The waters cold and were sinking slowly
We're falling straight for death
I got close and now were drowning
But I won't go alone
No not again
This time I'm taking you down with me

As I took my final breath
I saw you there, I saw you
You looked away but I know
You saw me too
Don't hide in the shade
Come out and face me in the light
Just come back to me darling
Then only then will everything be alright

But that's alright
You'll want me when your drowning baby
But I won't be there I will smile and look away
Just like you did to me
Just like everyone does to me

Baby I'm drowning
I'm sinking
But you won't help me
Anymore you've had enough
Its only you that i need
But I can't have
Now before I go can I ask you a question

Why
Why me
Why
Not she
Why
Why me
Why not just be there
Stay with me don't leave.

What a very honest, very raw piece. Weaved into the stanzas are cries for help, cries begging for understanding and answers to questions denied to you. I love the theme you used through the piece -- the boat, the cold water, going down with the ship, etc. You can feel the anger and the anguish and the pain so sharply. I love this piece. Its very well written.
