Drown You Out
Crossfade Lyrics

Today was unexpected
The day did not go as planned and was surprising.

Nothing here is how I left it
Things have changed since the singer was last here.

Each day that passes by
As time goes by.

Just seems to feed the lie
The situation is not improving and may actually be getting worse.

Closing in around me
The problems are becoming more and more difficult to deal with.

Makes it so hard to see
It is difficult to find a way out of the situation.

And now I'm standing on a ledge
The singer feels like they are on the edge, possibly contemplating suicide.

My foot creeps closer to the edge
The singer is contemplating jumping.

Friends all know what to say
The singer's friends might try to help, but their words might not be enough.

To make me push them away
The singer has a tendency to push people away, even when they are trying to help.

What they can't know about me
The singer has secrets that they do not want to share.

Makes it so hard to see
The secrets are keeping the singer from finding a solution.

I'm not holding my tongue for you anymore
The singer is not going to be silent about their problems anymore.

I'll scream so loud til I drown you out
The singer is going to make their voice heard, no matter what.

Now you can't hold me down anymore
The singer is no longer going to let their problems control them.

So many days of silence
The singer has been quiet for too long.

Too many destructive ways to vent
The singer has not been able to find a healthy way to express their feelings.

I hope they set something free
The singer hopes that expressing their feelings will help them overcome their problems.

Didn't know they were out to kill me
The singer did not realize how much their problems were affecting them.

Today I'll turn it all around
The singer is determined to change their situation for the better.

Pick myself off the ground
The singer is going to get back up and keep going.

Sweat all the sickness out
The singer is going to work hard to overcome their problems.

Force all the demons down
The singer is going to conquer their inner demons.

Stand up and set it straight
The singer is going to take control of their life.

Get it right before it's too late
The singer is determined to fix their problems before it's too late.

For now I'm feeling fine
The singer is starting to feel better now that they are taking control of their situation.

Left all the pain behind
The singer is gaining closure and moving on from their past pain.

It's time to live my life
The singer is ready to start a new chapter in their life.

I finally got it right
The singer is finally making the right choices for themselves.

I can still taste the words on my tongue
The singer is haunted by past words that they spoke.

Saying we're okay
The singer might have lied to themselves and others about being okay.

But when I raise my head up to see the darker side
The singer is seeing their situation clearly for the first time.

That isn't me
The singer doesn't recognize the person they have become.

So now I raise my hands up
The singer is surrendering to their problems.

So tired of giving in
The singer is done submitting to their problems.

Throw this all away and start again
The singer wants to start fresh and leave their problems behind.
