There's water in the ocean
As far as I can tell
That's the best place for it
I'm living in hell
Limp-wristed
Switchblade missed it
A fire at the sawmill
As far as I can tell
That’s the best thing for it
I’m dying “oh well”
Grey flagstone
Broken cellphone
There’s oil on the pavement
Leeches in the sand
She tries to run he grabs her hand
The world is a cycle
Shaking in your shoulder
Everyone can tell
Knocked the wine glass over
And over it fell
So suddenly so useless
You’re dying on the inside
Nobody can tell
It’s a living torture
But you wear it so well
Just wait it out ‘til sunrise
There’s water in the ocean
As far as i can tell
That’s the best place for it
I'm living in hell
Knife twisted
‘Til she kissed him
Leeches on the pavement
Oil in the sand
She cries “the sun is never our friend...
It’s only satiated as it sets”
It’s filling up my eyes
Ripped it off the sides
And hold me ‘til I’ve died
But then it fills my eyes again
It’s writhing before you

Mother nature
Is killing me
Poison’s pouring
From every tree
And all her creatures
Big and small
Are radiating
The same miasma
If we’re not the crime
We’re at least the witness
Maybe I’m not sick
Maybe I’m the sickness
My body
Is breaking down
Spilling humours
Upon the ground
So serene
In her violence
Tearing me to shreds
In perfect silence
If we’re not the crime
We’re at least the witness
Maybe I’m not sick
Maybe I’m the sickness
(gabe)
I’m collecting
Energy
Frozen inside
Red berries
Love that’s cooling
Entropy
Even with big cat status
That chloro kill my brain quick
Well I have a habit
Why don’t you break me off quick
Well I have a habit
Why don’t you make me lovesick

Are you really in love with her
(No)
Or are you just coping?
Does this commitment feel natural
Or are you just forcing?
(Yeah)
Well, I smell your hesitation
When we're leaving the embrace
Oh, quiet creature
Let's see your honest face
A face that is true
As hell is really
Only ever found inside of you
The words that are leaving our mouths
They lack in truth
Now, when she sings
I don't listen
See, I'm scared
I don't really like this
Keep me away
Keep me away
Stop!
Something is happening now
Look around
It could be as simple as
Lying down; not making a sound
(Oh)
When she rings
I won't listen
I'm not picking up
I'm opening up
Please, make me stay
Please, let me stay
"Hey what's up?
Do you still give a fuck?
I think it's funny when you call me up and tease my thoughts
Like, 'Are you hurting?' or 'Do I want you to be?'
'Are you in love?' 'Can I please have that again?'
'Do I deserve it?' 'Am I crazy or are we still coping?'"
(rob)
It's been seven fucking months and
You're still in my head
I think you are an abscess that I cut, but
You're still at my bathroom sick
I can't throw you in the trash
I am just way too fucking weak

I've been tripping on wet rocks
Inside my mind all day
I'm scared of how I turned you on
Am I allowed to feel this way?
So, "what can I do for you?"
Or, "do you want me to?"
I'm looking for a trade
I want it to be okay
You make me happy
