lyrics

Two handfuls of pills, two beers to drown it out
a mile in the sky is a long way down
I'm trying not to think about it
trying not to think about it
trying not to think at all
but when my body bursts open
your name comes pouring out

Cocktail catch, your hook caught in my jaw
I have got no air to breathe until you let my body fall
swimming in the ocean I am swimming in the ocean
I am swimming in the lonely sea
I cannot feel anything but this wound you've given me

Make the most of all this drama
blurry vision, diorama
sanctifying silence, endless sleep

Synesthete, echoes of our dreams
midnight euthanasia, daylight remedy

Shrapnel blur, those voices are not there
I have told them everything but they didn't seem to care
if you were always right I guess if you were always right I guess
that I was always wrong
tell me truths or tell me lies
but don't tell me I belong

I spent two months slipping into decay
I have forgotten who I am
can you tell me my name?
