"Drowning" Latest work from me, please check out

Hey again guys, finally a new one for everyone who may have been following my work. Or anyone new to my stuff, enjoy this.

its called "Drowning"

Return to the darkness
Back into the past
Dwelling on memories
How long can they last

Picking my brain
And hurting my heart
Tears like razorblades falling
They tear me apart

I am wasting away
Stuck here cant move on
Sinking into the pain
The thoughts trapped inside me
I just cant let go
Losing breath and dying quickly
Im Drowning
Drowning in memory

These secrets i hold
Like a black cloud above me
Showering questions
I'll never be free

I am wasting away
Stuck here cant move on
Sinking into the pain
The thoughts trapped inside me
I just cant let go
Losing breath and dying quickly
Im Drowning
Drowning in memory

Theres only so much left
That i can take
Whats left to hold on to
As i sink deeper, and feel myself break

I am wasting away
Stuck here cant move on
Sinking into the pain
The thoughts trapped inside me
I just cant let go
Losing breath and dying quickly
Im Drowning
Drowning in memory


so there ya go. just wrote it today, the ink is still wet. Enjoy everyone

I thought that was awesome, the only thing I'd change would be taking out the word "and" in between "losing breath and dying quickly." Surprised no one else said anything on this. I absolutely love the first verse. Wonderful song.

love it dude....

absolutely love that stuff, esp. the tears like razorblades part, youve got awesome imagery.

I am wasting away
Stuck here cant move on
Sinking into the pain
The thoughts trapped inside me
I just cant let go
Losing breath and dying quickly
Im Drowning
Drowning in memory


love the chorus....only thing i have to say about it is that when i read it something about the flow w/ the two drownings in a row seemed a little off, but its quite good.

These secrets i hold
Like a black cloud above me
Showering questions
I'll never be free

Theres only so much left
That i can take
Whats left to hold on to
As i sink deeper, and feel myself break


love the imagery and the flow of them both. only thing i would change would be end of the second one, i would cut out some of the words and make it something like "sinking deeper, i feel myself break" but its still really good even if u dont change nething. good show ole chap.

Great work dude. Very well written.

I like the opening. Great metaphors and the words kick ***.

I'm in agriance with TrampolineClam with the whole 2nd drowning. It would work either way, but I just see the 2nd one kinda messing up the flow, unless you have an idea with the music. Other than that the chorus kicks ***.


Hey, continue to write, I look foward to reading more of your stuff.

guitar for ur song?

hey zero great song.... i personally enjoyed it. Would it be alright with u if i tried to add some guitar too it (im not currently in a band or anything so don't worry about me stealling it. But i wouldn't mind giving it a spin.

But i think that out off all the versus the 1st was the best by far

Serve the song well indeed. Awesome song, I wish I could put words together that well with that flow. And what Wolfix said, I think it'd be awesome if people put their own versions to lyrics they liked. I was thinking of doing the same, but I'd be too lazy. :P
