the drowning man

you leave a man for someone else
you ripped his heart out he falls to hell
he screams he screams in agony
but you've become so blind that you can't see
he feels he feels the waters rise
from the weight of tears that fills his eyes

drowning demons pull him down
he takes one breath and then no sound
his lungs fill up with haunting sadness
from a soul thats hurt in all your madness
forgive forgive me-he screams away
as the jaws of darkness consume the prey

as he lies alone on the ocean floor
once filled with life but not no more
drowning demons have left him now
it makes no sense like love somehow
an empty heart but the swellings down
to end a life in a heart that pounds

drowning drowning everywhere
cause in this life no one cares
take his hand this drowning man
it's only then will you understand
don't let go just hold him tight
and watch the bubbles rise to light

break this spell if you really care
and show your love hold back no fear
the ocean's dark and oh so cold
will you take me back would you be so bold
please save me save me I want to live
I've got much to share and love to give

you sound just like a tidalwave
will you rescue me-is it me you'll save
I felt a hand reach down to me
I thought it was the raging sea
you pulled me across the grains of sand
you cared enough to save a drowning man

First of all Silent, welcome to our beautiful corner. My first time to read you and what an epic of grand pains of astronomical ground.

Which will lead to the second part. Like you screamed in my behalf. Surely this is a very remarkable pleadings on how love gone so bad and let emptiness reign. Just splendidly and so winning my lonely heart..

Thanks silent and again welcome..bouquet bouquet gift gift
