Lyrics Drown - Charity

Drown

Last night I dreamed, half asleep
Was dancing to, a disco beat
Girls and boys, laughing loud
It was a full and sweaty house
There was shouting and spilling of drinks
And the loneliest kind of fog
We were sinking obliviously
And I heard myself scream
«Hold on, don’t drown me out»
Swallowed by the crowd
Choking on the sound
Frightened by the noise
Don’t drown me out
Washed up in the sea
Of social make believe
I’ve been watered down
Don’t drown me out
Don’t drown me out
None could hear, the words I said
I had a fear, that I was dead
Shrieking loud amidst it all
There I was invisible
Then came a roar in the Cathouse Inn
And I waved my white flag for help
Who could save me, I just blended in
Maybe I should only blame myself
Don’t drown me out
Swallowed by the crowd
Choking on the sound
Frightened by the noise
Don’t drown me out
Washed up in the sea
Of social make believe
I’ve been watered down
Don’t drown me out
Don’t drown me out
Don’t drown me out
Don’t drown me out
So, criticize me if you don’t understand
Why I’m a Jesus, breathing, praying, show and tell
All I’m left with is the haunting dream
Of an endless silent movie yell, «Don't drown me out»
