"Stay and Drown" by @bailbowe (Bailie Bowen)

I drew this just now; it took me no less than thirty minutes. It took me a while to get the picture the way I wanted it in the beginning. But I finally let go of all of my feelings, like I usually do when I draw (not all the time, mind you), and this came out. I drew this after I found out my brother was in the hospital; he's still in surgery right now (9:14 Mountain). He went in maybe half an hour ago. He has to get his appendix and gall bladder removed. Every one root for him. This isn't a picture to describe how I'm feeling cause he's in the hospital; for heaven's sake, no. But I'm writing a song fic to one of Finger Eleven's songs: "A Walk in My Shoes". Angst, angst, angst; that's what it sort of feels like when I read it.

lyrics:

"Good God, have I been dreaming, This paralyzing feeling? Was I left alone? Where have you gone? Were you somewhere else, just sleeping? If I wait to wake you, I'll never ask you, Would you take my hand, In the deepest end? Would you stay and drown in me? Take my hand, In the deepest end, My open eyes see everything. But I'm passing all the days, Through a window pane, And as the scene would change, I'd stay the same, This paradise was nothing new, But the paradise grows tired of you. A single conversation, Stole my attention. Would you take my hand, In the deepest end? Would you stay and drown in me?"

Angst, angst, angst...
