Drowning Machine
words and music by Ted Kirkpatrick

The water is fast, but it ain't deep
I waded out before
I could do it in my sleep
Another line, another fix
Another "I don't care"
The place you thought you'd never be
Guess what, you're there.

Drowning machine

Sow a thought, reap and action
Sow an action, reap a habit
Sow a habit, reap a destiny
Do anything, be anyone
But you're not free.

Drowning machine
Drowning machine

A three foot river drop
A circular hell
Drowning machine is
Ringing the death bell
Your lifeless soul floats to the shore
You couldn't stop
Had to have more, more, more.

Drowning machine
Tragic death scene
