Drowning In Myself
Opens with pounding industrial percussion, thick distorted guitars, and a deep synth drone. Verses combine groove metal riffing with snaking bass and eerie layered female vocals. Pre-chorus intensifies with syncopated hits. Chorus explodes in hard, anthemic alternative metal, adding soaring harmonies and dark Gothic textures. A mid-song shock rock breakdown features mechanical samples, gothic organ stabs, and screamed vocal layers, followed by a crushing outro blending all elements in a relentless wall of sound.

Lyrics
Verse 1
Your love is like a cage
I am its prey
We all have demons in our closet
But I put mine on display
You found a happy home inside my pain
I opened up the door and let you stay
I guess I should've known you'd be this way
Because you drown me in my own rain
Chorus
Oh
Drowning in myself
Save me from myself
'Cause you drown me in my own rain
Post-Chorus
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Verse 2
I'm a self-sabotager
Can't seem to get out of my own way
Guess I should've learned how to swim before I jumped in
But I fell for the bait
And you found a happy home inside my pain
I opened up the door and let you stay
I guess I should've known you'd be this way
Because you drown me in my own rain
Chorus
Oh
Drowning in myself
Save me from myself
'Cause you drown me in my own rain
Verse 3 – new section, darker and heavier
Your shadow stains the walls inside my mind
Every step I take, you’re right behind
Every scream I make just feeds the flame
And every tear I shed just calls your name
I’m choking on the lies I chose to keep
They pull me deeper, drag me to the deep
Your grip is iron, your voice is chains
And still you drown me in my own rain
Bridge – cinematic, slow and crushing
No air, no light, no way to breathe
You strip the skin right off of me
This drowning feels like home somehow
But I can’t let you pull me down
(I won’t go down… I won’t go down…)
Outro – whispered build to final belt
Oh
Drowning in myself
Save me from myself
'Cause you drown me in my own rain
(You drown me… you drown me…)
