Black Swan

Thump thump thump

I can hear my heartbeat pounding in my head

Like a rhythm that never disappears

Thump thump thump

It's defeaning louder than anything else

Drowning out the sound of my breathing

To the point where I don't think I'm alive

Anymore

Deeper and deeper

I feel myself falling farther and farther away

From the surface of reality

Thump thump thump

Like a drum that's my thoughts

I float forward and back like a wave

Unaware of what's happening around me

And unfazed by the water filling my lungs

Thump thump thump

This is killing me and I'm screaming

Can you hear me now?

I can feel the pain filling me up,

Moving me like a puppet, dragging me

Down further and further

Yet the beat follows me

Thump thump thump

I can't get away from it as it chases me down

To the depths of the sea

Making sure I never see the light of day again

Thump thump thump
