Name: Sinking Fast
Duration: P00H03M58S
Description: This song started on a whim to write something in 5/4 meter. The music came fast but I had no words. About the same time, two friends were going through a rough time so the words helped me express how I felt. The 5/4 meter, which is really two 3/4 bars missing one beat, seems appropriate since it captures the idea that something is missing. I hope you enjoy Sinking Fast!

lyrics

I'm just wasting time

I’m just wasting time while the world crashes down on me
I’m just taking time to decide if it’s the new reality

There’s no part of me In the sea that’s surrounding me
Why was I so blind to the things now so clear to me.

Somebody come and save me
Somebody take my hand
Somebody come embrace me
Help me to understand
Somebody come and save me
Somebody take my hand
Somebody come embrace me
Cant you see I’m sinking fast?

Goin’ out of my mind with the thought you are lost to me
You said you would be just for me, you would never leave.
Feeling so alone. Time is all that is close to me.
Emptiness inside in the place where you reside.

Somebody come and save me
Somebody take my hand
Someone come embrace me
Help me to understand
Somebody come and save me
Somebody take my hand
Someone come embrace me
Can’t you see I’m sinking fast?
