Sinking

I get the feeling
That I'm sinking in you.
Your hands go through me
As I'm trying to
Think back on a better time.
Like watching water
In a rising tide.

You'd not know me right now,
You'd think that I was a man
Wanting to drown.
Shaking words in my fists,
Pointing to all of the things
That I won't resist.
Pouring out my heart
And pouring one more drink
To keep it calm.

Because I think I've hit the brink
And this is all I can take,
To keep going on.
To keep going on.
To keep going on.
