Drown
40 Below Summer · Invitation To The Dance
And take this leash into your inner slave
And follow me into the open end
Now gather these pieces of broken man
I will set in motion
To open me up again
I will make the ocean
Swallow me up and then
Drown
Drown
Close this cell - Imprison your only friend
And I can't kill - But I'm not so innocent
And rid this place of me and everyone
And change this face to burn in the sun
I will set in motion
To open me up again
I will make the ocean
Swallow me up and then
Drown
Stop this life
I cannot stop this life
I cannot stop this life
I cannot die
I will set in motion
To open me up again
I will make the ocean
Swallow me up and then
Drown
I drown
I drown
I drown
I drown
