Bathtime Blues

Sitting half the night, too close to the edge of the bed
Causes it to bow in the centre where you used to put your head
There on the wall is a line where I tried to make a screen
When the light of the sun in the morning would interrupt your dreams
There on your arm are the scars from the nights you couldn't feel
Took away the medicine and taught you that you always have to shuffle what you deal

This breath underwater won't make it go away
This breath underwater won't make it be okay

Sorry about the fire when the house with the animals burnt down
Ashes and appliances are simple when they fertilize the ground
How does it seem like you might take the time to react
Now that no one's driving and the train is slowly coming off its tracks
Now that you're sick you keep repeating everything you feel
You're my broken record skipping past the good parts, you're the wound I couldn't heal

This breath underwater won't make it go away
This breath underwater won't make it be okay
