out of breath

I drowned myself in the river today
You will deny the fact, I know
I lost my life; I am back to clay

It is too late to make me stay
Truth is venom, it hurts to show
I drowned myself in the river today

I happened when I tore myself away
Alone, I sank in the water slow
I lost my life; I am back to clay

I antecede the mourning fray
A reason you reckon to plateau
I drowned myself in the river today

Casket, tears, and a fair bouquet
You groan and weep and wail in woe
I lost my life; I am back to clay

Through the window shade I stream rays
You sit alone with a cup of cocoa
I drowned myself in the river today
I lost my life; I am back to clay
