Drown - Charity

Last night I dreamed, half asleep

Was dancing to, a disco beat

Girls and boys, laughing loud

It was a full and sweaty house

There was shouting and spilling of drinks

And the loneliest kind of fog

We were sinking obliviously

And I heard myself scream

«Hold on, don’t drown me out»

Swallowed by the crowd

Choking on the sound

Frightened by the noise

Don’t drown me out

Washed up in the sea

Of social make believe

I’ve been watered down

Don’t drown me out

Don’t drown me out

None could hear, the words I said

I had a fear, that I was dead

Shrieking loud amidst it all

There I was invisible

Then came a roar in the Cathouse Inn

And I waved my white flag for help

Who could save me, I just blended in

Maybe I should only blame myself

Don’t drown me out

Swallowed by the crowd

Choking on the sound

Frightened by the noise

Don’t drown me out

Washed up in the sea

Of social make believe

I’ve been watered down

Don’t drown me out

Don’t drown me out

Don’t drown me out

Don’t drown me out

So, criticize me if you don’t understand

Why I’m a Jesus, breathing, praying, show and tell

All I’m left with is the haunting dream

Of an endless silent movie yell, «Don't drown me out»
