lyrics

I take longer showers
As if the steam will liquify your sharpened words
As if the insults coat me like a layer of dirt
I’ll keep scrubbing, that does something

I stand here for hours
As if the time must hold some strip of unturned earth
As if the thought is buried, I await its birth
I stopped running, that does something

Sorry I wasn’t listening
You’re right, I have been different
Can’t stand my wavering voice cut to shreds with noise
You get so loud
They’ll say she drowned in her own house

I breathe in the water
As if the saline cleanses as it floods and burns
As if the pain will leave and never dare return
I’ll keep flushing, that does something

Sorry I wasn’t listening
You’re right, I have been different
Can’t stand my wavering voice cut to shreds with noise
You get so loud
They’ll say she drowned in her own house

It’s almost funny
I was scared of waves
But you’re terrifying
I was scared of sharks
When you were behind me
Can’t just punch your nose to stop the biting

Sorry I wasn’t listening
You’re right, I had been deferent
Can’t stand my wavering voice cut to shreds with noise
You get so loud
They’ll say she drowned in her own house

It’s almost funny
I was scared of waves
But you’re terrifying
I was scared of sharks
When you were behind me
Guess I’ll punch your nose, it’s worth trying
