The Drowning Lyrics - Anata

I feel like I'm about to drown 

It feels like I have sunk too deep 

The mask of water over me, pushing me down 

Has now become too burdensome to overcome 

I'm trying hard to see the sun 

But from this angle 

The surface reflects only 

The bottom of the sea 

At times, I feel I'd like to stop 

Holding my breath and just exhale 

And let the water fill my lungs 

To drown is said to be a pleasant way to die 

Maybe if I just let go 

Of my burden I'll eventually 

Approach the surface and drift downstream 

And once again see the fire of the sun 

Again I try to see the sun 

But from this angle 

The surface reflects only 

The bottom of the sea 

Oxygen fails me but I hold my breath 

I swim and try to reach the shore 

Swim under water, maybe in vain 

For I have almost lost my will to live 

When I have lost my will to live and my body is weak 

Then carry me, please carry me 

When my eyes are tired, be my star 

Shine for me, shine for me my precious sun
