Lyrics
Drowning in the Mainstream
I'm uncomfortable in my own skin.
I drown in pools that some stand in.
I'm uncomfortable in my own skin.
So hold your breathe and dive right in.
Sing along all alone,
Sing along to words of the undertow.
I'm uncomfortable in my own skin.
I drown in pools that some stand in.
Worn through the bottom of the soul that Im standing in.
So hold your breathe and dive right in.
Sing along all alone,
Sing along to words of the undertow.
So sad this worlds so counterfeit,
I'll sell my soul I'm sick of it,
And what I'd give for one last daydream,
But I'm Drowning in the Mainstream.
