I AM
Koethe Lyrics

I think were going down
I feel like things are getting worse and the situation is bleak.

Despair and in an awful sound I found
I am experiencing hopelessness and hear nothing positive in the noise around me.

I know there is a better way
I understand that there are better choices and options available.

It comes and goes
Sometimes the better way is clear but at other times it is not.

But I can't find the stable ground
I am struggling to find a secure, steady base to build on.

Caught in the undertow
I feel trapped in a powerful force that is dragging me down.

I feel it on my skin and in my bones,
I sense this struggle both physically and emotionally.

I know you say that I've been here
Others have pointed out that I have been in this tough place before.

Before, before I fall away again
But I fear that I may lose my grip again and succumb to my hardships.

I am
I exist, but what that means is unclear.

I am one and forgotten
I am a lonely, insignificant figure who has been easily overlooked.

I am love lost destruction
I have experienced the pain of losing love, and the result has been devastation.

I am left to the maelstrom
I have been abandoned in the midst of a chaotic and destructive situation.

I am all but gone
I have very little left and feel powerless.

Tell me is this the end
I am uncertain if everything has reached its conclusion and the worst has arrived.

I read it on your lips and in my head
I have heard the message that this may bring an end to everything I have left, both spoken and unspoken.

I know you'll bring me back to shore again
But I trust that you will help me out of this and guide me to a place of safety.

I go some where I wish I'd never been
I have traveled to a place that I regret and wish I had never encountered.

Let this be over now
I long for my troubles to end and to finally find a moment of peace.

From shredded sail to sinking bow some how
Despite the damage and downfall, there remains a faint hope of survival.

I know, i'd do it all again
I'm aware that I could repeat the same errors and make the same unfortunate decisions.

I know, let me be better now
But I also want to use my previous experiences as a way to improve and arrive at a more positive outcome.

Feel the wind and water
I am aware of the forces around me that are contributing to my struggles.

The tempest at your skin
I feel the turmoil and conflict on the surface of my being.

You know I never listen
Even as I am aware of my problems, I struggle to fully comprehend them and take appropriate action.

You know its just the way I am
I recognize that my personality and nature may be standing in the way of my progress.

Fight the weight of oceans
I am battling against a massive, crushing burden.

The desperate search for land
I am searching for something concrete to hold onto and provide stability.

But I am all but gone
Despite my struggles, I am still hanging on and refuse to give up completely.
