Drown
T.M.O Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey there believer
What's the life you wait for
Come on deceiver
When there's nothing more
There's nothing more
We'll see who's leading who on
And who follows straight lines
I can't just love it or leave it
We could live in hope
Or burn straight through our lifetimes
So let's drown together
Ignore the sun
Slip into our own oblivion
Hey there believer
What's the life you wait for
Come on deceiver
When there's nothing more
There's nothing more
We'll see who's leading who on
And who follows straight lines
I can't just love it or leave it
We could live in hope
Or burn straight through our lifetimes
So let's drown together
Ignore the sun
Slip into our own oblivion
We could live in hope
Or burn straight through our lifetimes
So let's drown together
Ignore the sun
Slip into our own oblivion
We could live in hope
Or burn straight through our lifetimes
So let's drown together
Ignore the sun
Slip into our own oblivion
We could live in hope
Or burn straight through our lifetimes
So let's drown together




Ignore the sun
Slip into our own oblivion
