Your laughter cracks the ice beneath my feet
And I plunge into the swirling deep.
With a splash, the water fills my ears.
Darkness takes my eyes and gurgling's all I hear.

Your belittlement sends waves pounding over my head,
It's an icy bite straight to the bone
As I recall everything you said.
Up is down as I start to drown.

Disoriented, I search for any way out
But a layer of ice blocks my way through,
A layer of self-doubt placed there by you.

So badly I wanted your validation
But instead you choke me into suffocation.
I'm drowning
Drowning
Drowning
Drowning
