Sinking beneath the surface

In waters of amber clay

Each breath a struggle, a burden

As light begins to fade away

The weight of sorrow pulls me down

Into depths I cannot fight

My fingers find no purchase here

No anchor in the night

Sometimes we drown in feelings

That we cannot name or face

When the earth and water blend as one

And we surrender to their embrace

The silty waters cloud my eyes

As I descend below

Into this murky wilderness

Where only shadows grow

I claw against the nothing

But nothing holds me there

The struggle only takes my breath

In this world of dark despair

Sometimes we drown in feelings

That we cannot name or face

When the earth and water blend as one

And we surrender to their embrace

Let go, let go

The fighting only makes it worse

Let go, let go

Accept the weight of this earth

The water fills my lungs now

With soil from the ground

In this moment of surrender

Is where peace might be found

Sometimes we drown in feelings

That we cannot name or face

When the earth and water blend as one

And we surrender to their embrace

And sometimes in surrender

We find our saving grace
