If i raise my hands
would save me or would you shoot me?
I don't know what i want, i just hope it's over quickly and i don't feel a thing.

I've been paralyzed by the crashing waves
and terrified by the sight of the sand.

Drowning in the shallows

If you see me on the surface,
please hold me down until you're sure I've changed.

I've been so scared of feeling bad,
I don't feel anything these days.

These days,

I've been terrified by the sight of your face
I've been paralyzed by the touch of your hand.

I jumped in the water because the ground was killing me
but the deep blue sea just got me down.
I turned to head back for land, but i got scared at the sight of the sand, now I'm treading water, but i'm starting to drown.
