(Verse One: Kirk)
Sometimes I scare myself. See me hanging there myself
Tied the rope and kicked the chair myself with no one there to help
How can you judge someone if you've never been there yourself?
Let Me Drown. This must be how Uncle Darrell felt
Must be how Robin Williams felt-- k**ed himself odd enough
Everybody loves you but that's still just not enough
Damn… What hope is there for me then? God and I ain't speaking
Told her “let me drown,” I'm going off the deep end
Raining on strippers-- though I wish that my forecast was better
I don't delude myself-- I know this sh** won't last forever
Fast women. Fast feelings. Indifferent “whatevers.”
I'm the real deal down to the letter but...
(Bridge: Kirk)
I feel like my whole life has consisted of--
Hate & love that really isn't love
I don't know who we are, but this isn't us
Maybe just wishful thinking; baby this ships still sinking
“Kirk, it's not that deep.”
(Hook: Kirk)
I told her, “let me drown.”
She said, “it's not that deep.”
I told her, “let me drown.”
She said, “it's not that deep.”
And I... I don't know why
No, I don't know why I even try
I told her, “let me drown.”
She said, “it's not that deep.”
(Verse Two: Kirk)
This must be how Uncle Bob felt. Therapy does not help
I don't want to talk about sh** to people that don't give a f** about me
Have two women they don't really know nothing about me
Need some air -- tell'em that they can start to f** without me
This is for Ally from down Garnet Valley
This is for my Israeli that left for school in Cali
And this is still for us, tell ourselves the timings off
Ask me how I'm doing, tell you “I'm ok, just kinda lost.”
Our emotions stay pent up like they live on the top floor
And every track I do is crack like I'm Rob Ford
I know you're working Kirk, but you could do a lot more
Ask her if she loves me she says “I don't know, I'm not sure.”
(Bridge: Kirk)
I guess that my whole life has consisted of--
Hate & love that really isn't love
I don't know who we are, but this isn't us
Maybe just wishful thinking; baby this ships still sinking
“Kirk, it's not that deep.”
This one's for Patrice, man. This one's for Debrice, man
This one's for my father and for all of us forever lost at sea, man
… I'm going off the deep end
I told her, I told her, I told her, I told her, I told her--
(Hook: Kirk)
I told her, “let me drown.”
She said, “it's not that deep.”
I told her, “let me drown.”
She said, “it's not that deep.”
And I... I don't know why
No, I don't know why I even try
I told her, “let me drown.”
She said, “it's not that deep.”
