They Threw Me In And Told Me To Swim

You know, I long time ago I went to swimming lessons
My mommy paid and I jumped in the water and taught myself to float
Swimming always made me happy, no one had to teach me how
But now the water has taken on another shape

Now I am swimming in air, not liquid
It's made  of the smoke from all my burned emotions
I had to get rid of them to make room for my frozen heart
And now they have come to take revenge

They seep into my nose and lungs
Making sure I can't breath the things that keep me happy and alive
I'm chocking and they won't let go of me
I always knew my emotions would be my end
"I should've told them I didn't know how"
