Charity - Drown lyrics

Last night I dreamed, half asleep Was dancing to, a disco beat Girls and boys, laughing loud It was a full and sweaty house There was shouting and spilling of drinks And the loneliest kind of fog We were sinking obliviously And I heard myself scream "Hold on, don't drown me out" Swallowed by the crowd Choking on the sound Frightened by the noise Don't drown me out Washed up in the sea Of social make believe I've been watered down Don't drown me out Don't drown me out None could hear, the words I said I had a fear, that I was dead Shrieking loud amidst it all There I was invisible Then came a roar in the Cathouse Inn And I waved my white flag for help Who could save me, I just blended in Maybe I should only blame myself Don't drown me out Swallowed by the crowd Choking on the sound Frightened by the noise Don't drown me out Washed up in the sea Of social make believe I've been watered down Don't drown me out Don't drown me out Don't drown me out Don't drown me out So, criticize me if you don't understand Why I'm a Jesus, breathing, praying, show and tell All I'm left with is the haunting dream Of an endless silent movie yell, "Don't drown me out"
