Drown
Silkin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me boy what's on your mind
It's okay don't feel inclined
Sink into the pool of guilt
As we watch each other drown
I've been thinking lately
I've been acting crazy
I give into quickly
Pull up when you know it ain't right
I got you always creeping up all night
Hold up, you know I'm doing just fine
When we get lonely
We end with nothing
You know where this will go
Does it matter anymore?
Pull up when you know it ain't
I got you always creeping up all night
You're calling me to your bed
Where I've learned to go against
Everything that I've built
I'm just seeing it go down, down, down
Do you want to know
Why it's hard you know cause you didn't leave
Now I watch you go
All I've ever known it's hard to believe
I've been thinking lately
I've been acting crazy
I've been thinking lately
I've been acting crazy
Pull up when you know it ain't right
I got you always creeping up all night
Hold up, you know I'm doing just fine
When we get lonely
We end with nothing
You know where this will go
Does it matter anymore?
Pull up when you know it ain't
I got you always creeping up all night
I've been thinking lately, lately
That I've been acting crazy, hazy
I've been thinking lately, lately
That I give into quickly, clearly
