Although I�m drowning,
I cling to the ocean floor.
To let go would be
To relinquish control.

Although I�m drowning,
I�m scared of the waves up above.
So I hold onto
My only security.

Although I�m drowning,
I deny all offers of help.
�I�m fine!�  I proclaim
As I push the Lifeguard away.

I�m drowning and I know it
But I don�t care
Although I�m drowning,
I�m in control.
