Bring Me Back

Crying the tears
Of my depression
Of my heartache
Of my fears

Crying away my sorrow
Along with my problems
Along with my family
Along with him

He won't go
He won't drown
Why can't he drown
Like everything else?

Why can't his memory drown?
These memories live in my mind
All of them
They won't go away

I continue to live in memories
In the past
in my dreams
And I can't get out
I want to live in the present
Bring me back
