I'm drowning, me. I'm drowning, me. you know I am tired. cold and bony tired. nothing is going to save me, I can see. I can't say I'm fearful. I can't say I'm not afraid. I am not resisting, I can see. That I don't need a heaven. I don't need religion. I am in the place where I should be. I am breathing water. I am breathing water. you know a body's got to breathe. I'm drowning, me. I'm drowning, me.
