Drown Lyrics

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 swimming 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 swimming 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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Amazing song, dark and inspiring in its own way.

If this was on mainstream radio it would MUCH more popular. I love this group and their work.
