Lyrics
※--I wrote Cold and Coming Down during one of those nights where everything feels too heavy to hold. The rain, the silence, the weight behind my eyes, it all bled into the song. After the chorus, I couldn’t write anymore. That’s when the music took over. The violin rises, the tension builds, like emotions I couldn’t name pressing against my chest. It’s not a cry for help. It’s a release. --※
※--This song is what it sounds like when you're too tired to keep going, but too full to stay quiet. The voice cracks, the chords hit hard, and for once, I let it all break through.--※
--------------------
Intro
The sky don't move
... just leans on me
Grey like the weight behind my eyes
Even if I try
To light a match in the dark
... the wind says, no
Verse
Tried talking to the walls again
They listen better than most
And this damn coffee
Tastes like the past
bitter, and too cold to drink ... and
Pre-Chorus
I don't wanna write
I don't wanna speak
But I can't stand the silence
So I scream through my feelings!!!
Ohhhh
Chorus
It's cold and coming down
No one left to dry me off
My soul is cracked like sidewalks
And the flood's already inside
Let it drown me,
Let it drown me
Let it drown me!
if it must
I'm too tired to climb this time
Instrumental
※--Author’s note: At this point, language gave up on me. The tension kept rising, the violin, the drums, the breath, like a storm tightening in my chest. Maybe if you're holding something in, you’ll feel it start to break here too.--※
Instrumental
Bridge
I ain't asking to be saved
Just!
Don't!
Watch!
Me!
Sink!!!
※Emotional release※
AAAAAAHHHHhhhhh!!!!
Refrain
Let it drown me,
Let it drown me!
Let it DROWN ME!!!
I'M TOO TIRED TO CLIMB THIS TIME!
※Pain※
Oooooohhhh
Oooooo uuu oooo uuuu oooohhh
※Instrumental catharsis※

※Breath※
Outro
Rain taps on the window
Like it’s got something to say
I close my eyes,
But it never goes away
※Thank you for listening※
