In the lake I swim
Trying not to drown
Keep myself above water
Why did I end up here?
How could this happen?
What have I done to deserve this fate?
Am I not good enough?
Am I a bad person?
Is this all for a greater good?
Maybe one day
I will find my way
Out of this wet and cold misery

Here in the lake
I slowly die
I try to reach out for a helping hand
But no one reaches back for me

When I first came here I couldn’t swim
And my chance of survival was oh so slim
But I adapted slowly over time
And now I am a destructive paradigm

What I have become
Not a guide of life
Nothing anyone should strive for
A mindless being
Driven by primal instincts
Not really living just barely surviving
Self-destroying
Suicidal
Searching for a reason to stay afloat
Not finding any
Living day by day
Any could be the last

Here in the lake
I slowly die
I try to reach out for a helping hand
But no one reaches back for me

I am swimming around in circles
A pointless existence seemingly endless
I am a shadow of my former self
Sick

When I first came here I couldn’t swim
And my chance of survival was oh so slim
But I adapted slowly over time
And now I am a destructive paradigm

When I first came here I couldn’t swim
And my chance of survival was oh so slim
But I adapted slowly over time
And now I am a destructive paradigm
