While I Drown Lyrics by Academy Killer

Lost in Make Believe EP

2019

[Verse 1]:

Walkin'  alone down the street at night
Tryna  find something to feel right
Can I get my kicks? I gotta get my fix
Is it the alley to the right?
First  can I see the money, don't try nothing funny
If  you got the cash, I got the stash
Come with me, I got your back
What  I have it will change your life
Through the door, just out of sight
What you see is between you and me
Don't tell a soul just promise me

[PreChorus]: 

Is this the life for me? No side left unseen
If these walls can talk, I'm sure they'd scream

[Chorus]:

Losing my grip my sanity while I drown
Running out of room in my lungs
Fighting just to keep my head up
Lost and never found, found

[Verse 2]:

I don't know where to go
Clawing at the walls as they erode
Once saw the world in rose and gold
Now it's black and oh, so cold
Can't spend your whole life running
These demons are too cunning
Don't turn your back, they'll attack
One false step could be your last
You put your name on the dotted line
As agreed, your soul is mine
Don't beg and plead, kick or scream
The deal is done, no bargaining

[PreChorus 2]:

Is this the life for me? No side left unseen
If these walls can talk, I'm sure they'd scream

[Chorus 2]:

Losing my grip my sanity while I drown
Running out of room in my lungs
Fighting just to keep my head up
Lost and never found, found

[Bridge]:

Losing myself once again
Lost touch with everything and all my friends
Losing myself once again
I've never felt so broken
