Chino Picasso - DROWNING Lyrics

They said freedom was mine, a gift without a price
But now I'm drowning in demands, their greedy hungry eyes
They pick me apart piece by piece, stealing all my hope dear
Tracking me down, a suffocating fear

They watch me struggle, a cruel and twisted game
Enjoying my pain, whispering my name
I'm caught in their storm, a hurricane of doubt
Trying to break free, but they won't let me out

You point your finger, blame me for the fall
But you were there all along, watching me crawl
You say it's my fault, but you can't see
The scars you left, the person you made me

Every day blends into the next, a monotonous haze
As I claw my way through this suffocating maze
I played their game, pretended to conform
But behind the mask, a stone was brewing warm, warm

Now I see through the facade, the emptiness within
Their hollow promises, felt a septic grin
They strive for me, your craving, their spirits bound to the ground
While I reach for the stars, refusing to be bound

You point your finger, blame me for the fall
But you were there all along, watching me crawl
You say it's my fault, but you can't see
The scars you left, the person you made me

You say it's my fault, this addiction I know
The crimes I've paid, the sins I've sown
But you fail to see the strength it took to rise
From the ashes of your lies

I was mine, a gift without a price
But now I'm drowning in demands
Their greedy, hungry eyes
They pit me apart, piece by piece

Stealing all I hold dear
Dragging me down, a suffocating fear
They watch me struggle, a cruel and twisted game
Enjoy my pain, whisper in my name

I'm caught in their storm, a hurricane of doubt
Trying to break free, but they won't let me out
You point your finger, blame me for the fall
But you were there all along, watching me crawl

You say it's my fault, but you can't see
The scars you left, the person you made me
Every day blends into the next, a monotonous haze
As I claw my way through this suffocating maze

I played their game, pretended to conform
But behind the mask, a storm was brewing more
Now I see through the facade, the emptiness within
Their hollow promises, the deceptive grin

They strive for mediocrity, their spirits bound to the ground
While I reach for the stars, refusing to be bound
You point your finger, blame me for the fall
But you were there all along, watching me crawl

You say it's my fault, but you can't see
The scars you left, the person you made me
You say it's my fault, this addiction I own
The price I pay, the seeds I've sown

But you fail to see the strength it took to rise
From the ashes of your lies
