DON'T DROWN

Don't drown in other peoples' dramas
Don't doubt your need to get the air
Don't drown in other peoples' traumas
If you do, I'll pull you out by the hair

When your energy is ebbing
You have to let off steam
You have no rock to rest on
To protect you from the stream
& if you know that you are gasping
For the air that you deserve
You must refuse to play the saviour
& use up your reserves

Chorus

They can suck out all your sunshine
& you won't feel a thing
You can give them all your water
When you're dying for a drink
If you know that you are gasping
For the air that you deserve
You must refuse to play the saviour
& use up your reserves

Chorus

I know that it's enticing
& sometimes so inviting
To be drawn into the whirl
But I warn you of the danger that unfurls.

Chorus
