​the drown Lyrics by Kadio

everything will be OK (demo version)

2021

[Verse 1]
You know I love you but I can't watch you drown
Head underwater, you keep pushing me down
As our hands meet at the surface
Grasp for air to fill our lungs

[Verse 2]
Self-fulfilled prophecy finally come true
I watch the daylight as it slips from my view
I can feel it shape around me
I don't know what it's become

[Chorus]
I fear soon it's nothing, we've sunken so deep
Watch the life as it spills through the cracks of your teeth
Though it burns to let you hold me in your arms
You're the only one who loves me in the dark

[Verse 3]
You know I love you but I think I'm still sick
The rot has spread straight from my roots to my limbs
But I'll carry who I've promised
Though they drag me through the ground

[Verse 4]
And I could tell you, but would you undеrstand?
Wish I could touch you without using my hands
But they crash without a purpose
Overtakеn, left to drown

[Chorus]
No, I can't keep fighting, I have to come clean
At first sight of the bottom I'll say what I mean
But it seems so neverending, almost gone
Oh, you could only ever love me in the dark

[Verse 5]
But I can be
The one you need
If I reflect
What's in your eyes
I won't return

[Verse 6]
Like a moth
Burns out a light
Too close to touch, too much to fight
And I never learn
I never learn

[Outro]
Do I let you down?
Do I let you down?
I can't touch this without burning my lungs out
Is it too late now?
It's too late now
Hold my breath, I know there's nothing but the drown
I set myself alight [?]
For what you need
But I know you'll only ever love me when I leave
Leave
