Instinctive Drowning from Instinctive Drowning by Chris Orrick

CHORUS You are what you know know/the problems sink deep to the bottom of your soul/And the world doesn't know/you're lost in the undertow/And those waves come strong/swallowing the water/you can't say what's wrong/The surface looks calm/So the rest of them carry on x2 VERSE I remember when the ambulance came/she was unresponsive/Dad was screaming her name/He tried to give her mouth to mouth/Nothing but green fluid she was coughing out/And fucked up thing is we had been there before/I was scared the paramedics had her laid on the floor/They cut her shirt off/And had her chest bare/With his hand over her left breast/and then compressed there/Nothing/They put her in the ambulance and took off/none of us could talk/I think we felt it/we had known for years that she was helpless/But you can't ever prepare for it/even with the shit she had been through/this was rare for her/they airlifted her to the hospital/she had pulled through before so it was possible/the doctor told us that her brain was dead/seven minutes without oxygen the way it ends/call the priest and have him pray again/maybe God will save her then/almost thirty years of alcohol abuse/she died on April 16th/nobody put her in the news/Her name was Jody Ann/I felt the coldness of her body at the funeral the last time I would hold her hand CHORUS You are what you know know/the problems sink deep to the bottom of your soul/And the world doesn't know/you're lost in the undertow/And those waves come strong/swallowing the water/you can't say what's wrong/The surface looks calm/So the rest of them carry on x2 VERSE You think that I don't see the warning signs/death by the bottle/I'm immortalized/On every corner there's a trigger for me/A big neon sign saying there's liquor pouring/A big neon sign just to remind me of it/A big neon sign saying my time is coming/Just shy of the age of when her liver failed/most of my money been spent on liquor sales/and you can talk about the reasons/you can chalk it up to talking to my demons/maybe it's something gone undiagnosed/ maybe I'm scared of suicide so I'm dying slow/Yeah - Mr. Slow Suicide/with his big fucking heart and regret is in his eyes/It's only medicine/It's only something to feel better when my head is in/a fucking tailspin and I hate myself/When I'm overwhelmed with life/and I can't save myself/Went from a little to a fifth a day/I just wanna go back/How did it get this way?/I just wanna go back how did it get this way?/And what would Kath do without me?/ What would Dad do without me?/look what I would leave behind/But I feel like I'm losing my mind/I'm a loser/I sing the blues/I'm not doing too fine/The other night I had a dream/I'm in a car without a driver, in the passenger seat/and right behind me was my mother and a child/and I smiled/She hadn't come to see me in awhile/The thing about dreams is nothing is odd/We were flying down the Lodge/I was thinking about God/The mood started to change/Looked back and my mother slowly turned to remains/The baby was gone and I looked to my right/Out the window and they had taken the good in my life/And like a movie/A car had pulled up next to me/Couldn't tell who it was driving the hooptie/He pulled up ahead and pulled out a gun/I tried yelling/but my words wouldn't come/He points it at me then I hear from the sky/I'm gonna make you famous/I'm gonna make you famous/I'm gonna make you famous/I'm gonna make you famous/I'm gonna make you famous/I'm gonna make you famous/And then came the.
