Going Under - Marillion

Is it wrong to talk to myself even when there’s nobody else

I’m just checking out that I’m not gone under the water

Thrown on the beach like a seal ready for slaughter

Can’t you understand that the way things were planned

It never worked out so I just went crazy

I took to the drink, like something says it’s «maybe»

I ain’t got no excuse and that’s really the news

Got nothing else to say, that it’s my way, it’s always my way

I seem to be running away so often

I’ll try anything once and that’s the way we should be

But it’s always the same getting caught up again in a habit

A habit I just can’t shake off the way it always turned out

Can you understand it’s the way I choose to be

Everything seems so easy this way

But I’m going under fast

Slipping away

Am I so crazy?
