Drowning
T.A.O.S. Lyrics

I been drowning in my sorrows
I have been struggling with my emotional pain and feeling overwhelmed by it.

I just wanna see tomorrow
I simply want to live another day and hope for a better future.

Yeah
Indicates agreement or affirmation.

There's gotta be another way
I must find a different approach or solution to my problems.

I need change and rearranging
I require a significant transformation and reorganization of my life.

I just wanna see and face it
I want to confront and address my issues honestly and directly.

Everybody I know
Refers to the people in my social circle and inner circle.

Knows my biggest dreams
Is aware of my greatest aspirations and ambitions.

But do they know my worst nightmares
Do they understand my deepest fears and anxieties?

From what they show
Based on how they present themselves and interact with me.

And how it seems
And the impression I get from their actions and words.

Most of em wouldn't give the slightest care
The majority of them would not show any concern or sympathy.

And that right there fuels the fear
This lack of support and validation intensifies my fears and doubts.

Deep inside of here
Within the core of my being or psyche.

And I hide even my slightest tear
I conceal even the smallest expression of vulnerability or sadness.

Cuz when I speak
Because when I express my thoughts and feelings.

On everything I subside
I compromise or diminish my own needs and desires.

The reason why becomes quite clear
The explanation or motive behind this behavior is evident.

I keep drowning
I continue to struggle and suffer without a way out.

But soon as I tell 'em my needs
But as soon as I communicate my requirements or wishes to them.

They put the blame on me
They accuse me of causing or being responsible for the problem.

So I'm caught in between
I'm stuck in a situation where I'm torn between conflicting options or loyalties.

The times they tell me that they waiting on me
Sometimes they say they are relying on me to take the lead or make a change.

And when I take the lead and everybody hatin' on me
But when I do take charge or assert myself, everyone seems to criticize me or oppose me.

The patience inside me is constantly at war
My ability to remain calm and composed is regularly challenged and conflicted.

Wit the hatred inside me
Amidst the anger and resentment I harbor towards myself or others.

And all I wanna do is succeed
My primary goal and desire is to achieve my objectives and fulfill my potential.

But it's hard to find one to believe now
It's challenging to find someone who genuinely trusts or supports me anymore.

So I keep Drowning
Thus, I continue to struggle and sink deeper into despair and isolation.

I keep drowning in my sorrows
I persist in succumbing to my emotional distress and pain.

There's gotta be another way
I must find an alternative or innovative approach to cope with my situation.
