I've got a drownin' sickness   I gotta breathe and fix this   I gotta get me outta here   With every time I feel this   I fight to not reveal this   I hide the hand that shakes in fear      Heavy in this ocean all around   Tired of swimmin' in this sickness I have found      Wake me when I drown   Breathe it in to sleep again      I've got a drownin' sickness   I gotta breathe and fix this   I gotta get me outta here   I'd try to verbalize this   If I could realize this   So many things I can't see clear      Heavy in this ocean all around   Tired of swimmin' in this sickness I have found      Wake me when I drown   Breathe it in to sleep again   Wake me when I drown   Shed my skin- I'm born again      I've got a drownin' sickness   I gotta breathe and fix this      I've got a drownin' sickness   I gotta breathe and fix this   I gotta get me outta here      Wake me when I drown   Breathe it in to sleep again   Wake me when I drown   Shed my skin - I'm born again
