lyrics

I saw you take a breath in
Like it’s the last one you’ll take
You’ll never learn how to swim
You’ll hold it in till you break
And lose it under pressure
Like you always do
Turning dark blue like the water
I saw you grasping for life
It was a horrible sight
I know there wasn’t a light
Yeah all you saw was water
And as you sunk it just got darker

Talking to me like I’m fucking crazy
I’m just tryna understand why god would make me
Broken record shatter through the glass wall
Maybe I should just accept that that’s all
I’ve ever been just a faded memory
Never meant to be waitin for the last call
And of course I tried to stay afloat
Take all of my money take my health
Take my home Take my word for it
This is hell
shrugging cuz I’m use to it
oh well Well well well
Oh well well well well
Ring the fucking bell
Tell me it’s a joke
Tell me that I fell for it
Oh well well well well
Oh well well well well


Gods playing pranks on me please
Weight on my mind
Mind on my at my feet
Me myself and I
Prolly need some sleep
And so I’m gonna try until I fly
Or sink
Oh well well well well
Oh well well well well

Talking to me like I can’t hear
Keep your voice down
I have good ears
I could hear it from a mile away
Before you even know what your really gonna say
I can tell by the face
I can tell by the way you move
Dance with devil
Its a pace I can do
Its amazing to you
Im alive and its true
Im a lucky this and that
Dive in the booze and the pills
Till its real
And you really gotta think about where your gonna go when you die

Gods playing pranks on me please
Weight on my mind
Mind on my feet
Oh well
Oh well
Talking to me like I prolly need some sleep
So im gonna try till I fly or sink
Oh well well well
Oh well well well

And I know you saw the hands
Trying to reach and help
You looked the other way
Couldn’t look them in the face
Yeah everything got darker
As you sunk it just got darker
I’m feeling sentimental now
I don’t wanna let you down
But I think I’m gonna drown
Yeah everything got darker
And darker
And darker
And darker
