Drifting Away in My Pain

(Intro – Soft, echoing guitar, distant waves crashing)

(Whispered)

Lost again… nowhere to go…

The tide pulls me under…

(Verse 1 – Gentle, melancholic tone, slow buildup)

Salt in my lungs, wind in my face

The current pulls, I can’t escape

Waves whisper secrets I don’t wanna hear

The water is cold, but it feels so near

(Pre-Chorus – Rising tension, drums kicking in lightly)

Took the lifeboat out too far

Chased the moon, forgot the stars

No one’s calling out my name

Guess I’m drowning in my pain

(Chorus – Big emotional release, guitars swell, drums crash in)

Let me drift away, let the ocean take me whole

No more fighting waves, no more trying to stay afloat

I was never meant to stay, I was born to fade away

So let me drift, let me go, let me sink below

(Verse 2 on Haunting, eerie calm before the storm)

The tide sings a song, and it sounds like home

Every ripple pulls me further, I’m already gone

No lighthouse, no rescue, just the endless deep

Maybe the sea is the only place for me

(Pre-Chorus – Same as before, but heavier, more desperate)

Took the lifeboat out too far

Chased the moon, forgot the stars

No one’s calling out my name

Guess I’m drowning in my pain

(Chorus – Even bigger, vocals breaking, raw emotion)

Let me drift away, let the ocean take me whole

No more fighting waves, no more trying to stay afloat

I was never meant to stay, I was born to fade away

So let me drift, let me go, let me sink below

(Bridge – Slow, dreamlike, fading into nothingness)

The water fills my lungs, I don’t even fight

The deeper I go, the closer to light

Maybe down here, I’ll finally sleep

Maybe down here, I’ll finally be free

(Outro – Soft, fading, instruments stripping away one by one)

Drift away… let me drift away…

No more pain… let me drift away…

(fades into silence, just the sound of distant waves)
