All at once I'm unaware of how to be happy
There was a time when I would try
A white blanket covers the ground around me
I wonder why I feel so black inside

Clinging to the outer edge of things
Let me go and maybe I'll be seen
Maybe I'll be...

I'm drowning
They're crowding to look at this life so mortified, yeah
I'm starving
They're taking all that was once a place to hide
And they would never find me

All the people think they really know me
Don't see the black that lives inside
White falls and I'm losing ground beneath me
Maybe it's my time to rise

Clinging to the outer edge of things
Let me go and maybe I'll be free
Maybe I'll be...

I'm drowning
They're crowding to look at this life so mortified, yeah
I'm starving
They're taking all that was once a place to hide
And they would never find me

I'm drowning
They're crowding to look at this life so mortified, yeah
I'm starving
They're taking all that was once a place to hide

I'm drowning
They're crowding to look at this life so mortified, yeah

And I wait for the train to come, oh
Accross from the church I sit, oh
I never knew what hit me, oh
And they would never find me
