Drowning
Monster Magnet Lyrics

This ain't a bad cup of coffee
Acknowledging that the situation is not entirely unpleasant

I guess we agree on that much
Recognizing common ground with someone

And I should counting my blessings
Realizing that one should appreciate what they have

In the light of your fading touch
Taking note of a relationship that is coming to an end

But I'm tired of the game
Feeling disenchanted with the way things are

And I'd sure like to blame you
Wanting to put responsibility on someone else

For turning my dreams into dust
Feeling disappointed that one's aspirations have failed

But I'm spinning and it's all because of you
Feeling lost and directionless due to another person

Guess I'll go back on the highway
Returning to old ways and habits

And keep on searching for light
Continuing to seek positivity and hope

Some much needed coin in my pocket
Desiring financial stability

And I'll prove that I'm doing alright
Wanting to demonstrate success to others

But I could paid for a thousand days
Even if money were not an issue

And I still would be begging at night
The feeling that one is never truly satisfied

Yeah, I'm crying and it's all because of you
Feeling emotional distress due to another person

Are there happy endings?
Questioning whether positive outcomes exist

Is there a sun up in the sky?
Questioning whether there is hope or optimism

Well it's hard to get excited
Feeling disillusioned with the present situation

When I'm gettin' nothin' back
Feeling like one's efforts are not being reciprocated

And I'm tired of asking why
Feeling frustrated with the lack of answers

Jesus, you let me down again
Feeling abandoned or betrayed by a higher power

World, I guess you ain't my friend
Feeling disconnected from the world and others

I could get high till I broke through the sky
Even extreme measures would not alleviate the pain

But I still would be singin' the blues
Continuing to feel negative emotions

But I'm drowning and it's all because of you
Feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by another person

Dream with me now, my darling
Inviting someone into a shared imaginary world

In my cave deep under the ground
A metaphor for a place of refuge

I'm pretty good at pretending
Feigning optimism or happiness

That the sun will never go down
Suppressing acknowledgement of inevitable endings

But I see in your eyes
Recognizing hidden truths in another person's expressions

That you're held to those lies
Realizing that someone else is also pretending

And I just can't be hearing that sound
Refusing to listen to negative feedback or truths

Oh, I'm fading and it's all because of you
Losing strength or motivation due to another person

How much are happy endings?
Questioning whether positive outcomes can be achieved

Can I buy you that moon up in the sky?
Desiring to obtain the unattainable

I wanna see the day
Desiring a brighter future

But it seems that you don't wanna play
Feeling as though someone else is blocking progress

And I'm tired, yeah I'm tried of asking why
Feeling exhausted and frustrated with unanswered questions

I could get laid in a thousand ways
Even physical pleasure would not alleviate emotional pain

But I still would be wearing those shoes
Continuing to feel negative emotions despite attempts to escape them

I could get paid for a thousand days
Even financial success would not alleviate emotional pain

But I still would be think 'bout you
Continuing to be preoccupied with thoughts of someone else

I could get high till I crashed through the sky
Extreme measures would not alleviate emotional pain

But I'm drowning and it's all because of you (Yeah)
Feeling overwhelmed and hopeless due to the actions of another person

Yeah, I'm drowning and it's all because of you
Reiterating the cause of feeling overwhelmed and hopeless
