Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The way you wear your freedom when it's heavy with opinions I've heard
Burdened by decision, see it restricting your vision to learn
Liberty can make you distant, so just step inside the sentence I serve
Feel the beating in my prison
There's no difference but the distance between their words
[Verse 2]
I'm always drowning, drowning naked
And all I could see was this sea of faces
How does one's own tongue, own tongue forsake 'em?
Tried to swallow an ocean, oh, but couldn't
[Verse 3]
The way I wear my prison when it's heavy with opinions I've learned
Burdened by decision, see it restricting my vision to turn
I'm caught in your new religion full of hope and contradiction to serve
We might all play the victim
But the script is not yet written, still, we watch it burn
[Verse 4]
I'm always drowning, drowning naked
And all I could see was this sea of faces
How does one's own tongue, own tongue forsake 'em?
Tried to swallow an ocean, oh, but couldn't
[Verse 5]
The rations that you'd claim to be my savin' grace
Starve the spirit just to keep my own body fed
Leave me without strength to  rise again
The drowning man don't check the savin' hand
It's not the same one that's been chokin' him upon the land
But still, he is judged where he cannot stand
[Verse 6]
I'm always drowning, drowning naked
And all I could see was this sea of faces
[Verse 7]
I'm always drowning, drowning naked
And all I could see was this sea of faces
How does one's own tongue, own tongue forsake 'em?
Tried to swallow an ocean, oh, but couldn't
[Verse 8]
For those who learn how to swim
Your survival is not your sin
