Muddy Waters

I’m drowning in muddy waters

But I don’t want to take you with me

My voice box is sewn and stitched

I can’t find the sounds to scream

I can feel the water past my knees

I don’t want to take you with me

I was afraid for you to come here

But somehow you found a path and came through

I thought that you deserved better

Although I never loved anyone the way I love you

You are waiting for me

But I feel the water past my waist

And I don’t want to take you with me

The waters raise higher

But I don’t know how to swim

You stir quietly

And I feel sad that I put us in this situation

Because I feel the water past my chest

And I don’t want to take you with me

I warned you not to choose me

But you said I was the one

You had visions of the waters rising

But you still refused to run

Now you can’t leave

You’re waiting patiently for me

But I feel the water past my neck

And I’m afraid I’ll take you with me
