Who I once was

In search of something to ground me

I found something that drowned me

Every face I saw I wanted to make smile

Little did I know my own self love would be on trial

The light inside of me eventually turned into a fright, nothing I saw was at all daylight

I was fighting to search for myself again, only to drown in the liquors top shelf

I was so free but now I’m only waiting in this dark dead-sea

I wanted to find something to save me but now I wish I was the same old me

Drowning in this new life of mine, a whirlwind

The irony of change is you will no longer be in free-range

I am underground, nowhere to be found
