I'm drowning



Boredom build a house inside me
Hosting parties everyday
Anxiety and depression are special guests
Visiting from another town
But ever since they arrived
They've been threatening to move in
I've never been a fan
Of loud parties like this
But who am I
To refuse the one happening
Inside my own head

It's a mad house in here
Especially at night
Insomnia sweeps me into his arms
I plead to count the stars instead
But he is fond of wandering
In thoughts with my mind
Making stops at my
What if's and my could have been's
Digging graves of my shattered dreams
And abandoning me
Admist the sea
I'm drowning inside my head
Inside my mind
