when the house is full of water
maybe we can save us
but when the house is on fire
we just have to get out
eight cups broken in pieces
there’s nothing left to hold us
stagnant waters pour from your mouth
somehow you’re holding me under
this house is no longer home
if i can’t close the door and be alone
three swords pierce my heart
i can’t wait to grieve you
i should have known right from the start
i’d be the one to leave you
yet you bring kindling inside
then act surprised at a house fire
if i have to burn
every good memory just to survive
then i can’t take you with me
this house is no longer home
if i can’t close the door and be alone
1 - 2 - 3
when the house is on fire
at least let us keep ourselves warm
when you walk through the fire
all your can bring is yourself

it's all about water
it moves in me
trickles down my thighs
runs from my mouth
and i never know when it will
stop
or start
i'm made of this surging
seasick power
washes through me
waves breaking
and i never know if they'll
break
me too
i could never be so fluid
i just capsize
i just
capsize
i just
capsize
i just
(capsize)
and i'm too wet not to drown
i could shatter
like spray
either way i'll
dissolve
and part of me is always
lost
to the air
i could never be so fluid
i just capsize
i just
capsize
i just
capsize
i just
(capsize)
and i'm too wet not to drown
i could never be so fluid
i just capsize
i just
capsize
i just
capsize
i just
(capsize)
and i'm too wet not to drown
it's all about water
it moves in me
trickles down my thighs
runs from my mouth
and i never know when it will
stop
or start

sometimes i forget
to call my friends
sometimes i forget
sometimes i forget
to cross at the bridge
sometimes i get wet
sometimes i get wet
the river is deep
sometimes i just want to sleep
but i will text you
late at night
just to let you know
that i'm thinking of you
i will call you
if you wanna talk and
i will listen
for as long as you want
sometimes i forget
to take care of myself
sometimes i forget
sometimes i forget
to take my pills
sometimes i get sick
sometimes i get sick
and lose my will
sometimes i just want to lay still
i will pick you up
from the airport
and I'll catch you
as soon as you land
i will feed you
if you need to eat and
i will make the bed
so you can get some sleep
i am learning to be a good friend
but sometimes i forget
sometimes i forget
to catch my breath
sometimes i forget
sometimes i forget
to come up for air
sometimes i don’t care
sometimes i don’t care
if i drown
sometimes i can’t make a sound
i will call you
from the hospital
say i'm sorry
for everything
please come get me
i won’t argue
and i promise
i want to get well
please come get me
i want to get well
