How Not To Drown |
| I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown |
| And if the words float up to the surface |
| I'll keep them down |
| This is the first time I know |
| I don't want the crown |
| You can take it now |
| You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string |
| Stuck in my mouth, into my throat |
| Told me to sing |
| That was the first time I knew |
| You can't kill the king |
| And those who kiss the ring |
| Tell me how |
| It's better when the sun goes down |
| We will never escape this town |
| I wasn't scared when he caught me |
| Look what it taught me |
| Tell me how |
| It's better if I make no sound |
| I will never escape these doubts |
| I wasn't dead when they found me |
| Watch as they pull me down |
| I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up |
| On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love |
| That was the first time I knew |
| They were out for blood |
| And they would have your guts |
| Tell me how |
| It's better when the sun goes down |
| We will never escape this town |
| I wasn't scared when he caught me |
| Look what it taught me |
| Tell me how |
| It's better if I make no sound |
| I will never escape these doubts |
| I wasn't dead when they found me |
| Watch as they pull me down |
| Watch as they pull me down |
| Watch as they pull me down |
| Pulling me down |
| Dead when they found me |
| Watch as they pull me down |
| Watch as they pull me down |
| Watch as they pull me down |
| Pulling me down |
| Dead when they found me |
| Watch as they pull me down |
| I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown |
| And if the words float up to the surface |
| I'll keep them down |
| This is the first time I know |
| I don't want the crown |
| You can take it now |
| You can take it now |
| Take it now |
