Oxygen

Water's pattering onto my head
Turning it up to feel the heat
Some days are wresting my oxygen
Exhaling the words I'm keeping in
Stone cold tiles are pressed on my back
It keeps flashing in
This weight on my chest
Drag me through the dirt
I try to wash it off
Been through this all my life
I'll just drown it out
You brought the rain so I reigned the storm
Don't underestimate a fighter's flood
Soaking wet
From head to toe
Hallucinations of all who chose to go
Wave goodbye
All on my own
These drowning fights that shake me to the bone
They make me forget to breathe
They're wresting my oxygen
Drop by drop onto my skin
Counting them all to keep it in
Humid air and strangling steam
Thinking about how I won't seep
My dripping hair all over my face
So cold so warm
Like the force in my chest
Smother my cries in the water
Knowing I'll calm down and make it out
Reddened skin's my armor now
I'll come back no I won't drown
Watch me close I'll make you proud
Do you hear that noise
It's a fighter's flood
Soaking wet
From head to toe
Hallucinations of all who chose to go
Wave goodbye
All on my own
These drowning fights that shake me to the bone
They make me forget to breathe
They're wresting my oxygen
Soaking wet
From head to toe
Hallucinations of all who chose to go
Wave goodbye
All on my own
These drowning fights that shake me to the bone
They make me forget to breathe
They're wresting my oxygen
