Slowly I'll drown Before I break
Slowly I'll fall down and slowly I'll drift away
There must be something in the water, I can feel it in my veins.
Slowly I'll drown no matter how long it takes
Slowly I'll crawl out and just give my head a shake
Summer has fallen down in autumns wake
There must be something in the fall air that keeps me from being fake
Slowly I'll crawl out of this hole that I made
And I'm trying my best to be the best you try to be
And I've taken pills and made myself be someone that lies to me
I've never been a sinner but I'll be passed out beside the trees
Or collapse into a river with heavy stones tied to feet
I'll learn my ABCs again and prove to you that I can read
I'll make my mistakes again and again, and maybe this time I'll see
I'm trying my best to be the best that you want from me
But it's getting hard to make a star when we're not shining
