Drowning Lyrics by Miiesha

Nyaaringu

2020

[Verse 1]
The way you wear your freedom
When it's heavy with opinions, I've heard
Burdened by decision
See it restricting your vision to learn
Liberty can make you distant
So just step inside the sentence I serve
Feel the beating in my prison
There's no difference but the distance
Between their words
[Chorus]
I'm always drowning
Drowning naked
And all I could see was
This sea of faces
How does ones own tongue
Own tongue forsake them?
Tried to swallow an ocean, but couldn't
[Verse 2]
The way I wear my prison
When it's heavy with opinions, I've learned
Burdened by decision
See it restricting my vision to turn
I'm caught in your new religion
Full of hope and contradiction to serve
We might all play the victim
But this script is not yet written
Still we watch it burn
[Chorus]
I'm always drowning
Drowning naked
And all I could see was
This sea of faces
How does ones own tongue
Own tongue forsake them?
Tried to swallow an ocean, but couldn't
[Bridge]
The rations that you'd claim
To be my saving grace
Starve the spirit just to keep my own body fed
Leave me without strength to rise again
The drowning man, don't check the saving hand
Is not the same one that's been choking him upon the land
But still he is judged where he cannot stand, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm always drowning
Drowning naked
And all I could see was
This sea of faces
I'm always drowning
Drowning naked
And all I could see was
This sea of faces
How does ones own tongue
Own tongue forsake them?
Tried to swallow an ocean, but couldn't
[Outro]
For those that learn how to swim
Your survival is not your sin
