Drowning

Safety in numbers they say
The art of counting major mistakes

So soon we pull ourselves to the surface
Unaware of the talent we have underneath
We rely on the air to strengthen our lungs
We allow all our fears to taunt our faint hearts

We assume that our lungs will burst
And will ache
We believe that we'll drown
That life will forsake

And we count all the seconds
It took us to fight
And our failures outnumber
Our one world of blight
