I'm at a low point in my life Like my mind shot happiness on sight I might give up watch dark turn to light As my mind races past the stars in the night I fight to keep my head above the waves So I don't wake up one day With a bed of wet sand as my grave But the sharks they circle in the waves They bite me slowly, killing me for days Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning With the tide slowly killing me inside Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning In my mind, it's time to leave it far behind My workload it sinks like a broken boat Which has embraced the water in its throat Writing papers these songs cut like razors Lashing out only leaving me with doubt But someday I pray that I'll fly What if I fall with this anchor by my side And falling I'll reach out my hand And hold on hope that I'll live to see the land Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning With the tide slowly killing me inside Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning In my mind, it's time to leave it far behind, woo Ah, ah, ah (alright alright) Whoa (whoa) Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning With the tide slowly killing me inside Ooh whoa I'm mentally drowning In my mind, it's time to leave it far behind Ooh Ooh Sinking sinking sinking away (ooh) I'm sinking sinking sinking away (ooh)
