Lyrics

Drownin'

[Verse 1]

Will I hate tomorrow?

Will I hate what I can't see?

I'm doubting

Should I walk around it?

Try to be what I can't be?

I'm dying

[Chorus]

I'm not happy any

I'm just not happy anymore

I'm drownin'

I'm not happy any

I'm just not happy anymore

I'm drownin'

[Verse 2]

Suppose you painted the castle of Auvers

But everything you did came alive

What if you painted all these things just to please me?

And if you could read my mind

I would never be happy

[Verse 3]

What will change tomorrow?

In this sea within a sea

I'm blinded

How long will I be down here?

I'm out of air, I cannot breath

I'm drownin'

[Chorus]

I'm not happy any

I'm just not happy anymore

I'm drownin'

I'm not happy any

I'm just not happy anymore

I'm drownin'

[Outro]

I'm drownin'

Yeah, I'm drownin'

Yeah, and I'm

I'm drownin'

Yeah, I'm drownin'

Yeah
