Sinking Feeling

Sinking Feeling

I can’t put to sleep 
these feelings I keep 
and the more that I think 
the deeper I sink 
into the silence within 
and I want to throw it away 
in a rubbish bin for another day 
and leave the things I say 
for him to collect 
as he could never respect 
the one that I love 
and that’s why I cry 
for he could never love her 
no matter how hard he tried 
and it’s a sinking feeling . 

Fears here on the inside , 
tears there outside , 
years there on the downside 
left me no place to hide . 

And every time she speaks of him 
I feel like a fish that cannot swim 
and I’m drowning in the deep blue sea 
and the tide rolls in much too fast 
but this cannot last 
and I’m breathing in 
as this sinking feeling comes over me 
and the sea’s too wide 
and the air’s too cold 
and I’m freezing deep inside 
with a sinking feeling 
that I cannot hide . 

I’m thinking of a feeling 
that’s sinking within . 
I’m like a bird that cannot sing 
for the air is cold 
and I cannot hold back 
the dark black cloud over head 
and as the light grows dim 
I can’t begin to tell you how I feel . 

I need to heal when I feel like this It’s a sinking feeling . 

Fears here on the inside , 
tears there outside , 
years there on the downside 
left me no place to hide . 

I feel the walls closing in on me 
and I cannot escape this place I’m in . 
I’m like a prisoner pinned down by something under my skin . 
This heavy load is starting to wear thin 
as I cling on as my heart is falling within this sinking feeling 
and now it’s time for healing . 

Fears here on the inside , 
tears there outside , 
years there on the downside 
left me no place to hide
I can’t put to sleep 
these feelings I keep 
and the more that I think 
the deeper I sink 
into the silence within 
and I want to throw it away 
in a rubbish bin for another day 
and leave the things I say 
for him to collect 
as he could never respect 
the one that I love 
and that’s why I cry 
for he could never love her 
no matter how hard he tried 
and it’s a sinking feeling . 

Fears here on the inside , 
tears there outside , 
years there on the downside 
left me no place to hide .
