Drowning in Memories

Lyrics: Jadeyn Taylor Music: Jadeyn Taylor Memories they trace my footsteps, They whisper, they roar In dreams, in life, now dripping Making mud of a dusty floor. After all of the good I've chosen Threw my life down in mercy's name. I can't escape this torture Only have myself to blame I can feel the water rising up It tugs it yearns to claw me down. Swirling towards deep dark depths, no light or sound And it always seems to creep in Leaving me alone out in the deep end I'm drowning in my memories, But no one sees them Memories they prowl in silence When my mind can finally breathe Each moment lay in waiting For their depths to swallow me. After all the time I've given You'd think I'd finally find release I can't escape this torture, I'll be dragged back to the deep I can feel the water rising up It strains, it aches to claw me down Swirling towards deep dark depths, my screams make no sound. And it always seems to creep in Leaving me alone out in the deep end I'm drowning in my memories, But no one sees them I'm drowning on land and barely treading air My memories are the seas, there's water everywhere And with each wave that crashes, it's like I’m there once more My feet can't touch the bottom And I can't reach the shore I'm drowning but dry, I'm fighting desperately. My memories are a flood, I don't think I can save me And with each wave that crashes, I find myself there once more There's no bottom below me I'll never reach the shore
