Took a dive into the drowning pool
The naive idiot I such the fool

Ventured far from the edge till the drop-off
Water filled lungs so I started to cough

Started to sink remembering I not knowing how to swim
Situation a must and looking very grim

Grasp for a lifesaver but only caught a straw
Wanted your face to be the last I saw

Panic I did for I started to sink
What a way to go drowning in a drink

Desperate I with life at a brink
Stopped for awhile and started to think

Should I struggle or just let go?
Excepted my fate, I don't know

Tired I was from all the strife
So I tried again to fend for my life

Kicked and pushed till I reach the edge
Head feels like I've been hit by a sledge

This you ask once more will I try
Got to struggling until I die
