Drowning

"I’m bored," she said. "Let’s go torture something."
So I wait in line all day – just me and the phone booth
While she goes through the shit we own, finding what’s unnecessary

Three pairs of clothes, one pair of shoes. Nothing else we really use
She said, "Let’s slow the day down, darling, so it all don’t… slip away."

I catch a glimpse of a future picture, the only thing that we will still own
Naked and cold in an empty room, but I’m happy ‘cause I still got you
And your happy ‘cause you still got… cigarettes

Yesterday I had a quarter. And I know I didn’t eat it
I’ll make the same mistakes. Won’t care ‘til my body needs it

Three pairs of clothes, one pair of shoes. Nothing else we really use, like food and sleep
We don’t like to think about tomorrow when we are in this deep. That’s the trick to a happy life

Spend every moment dying. Some people were born to float
Lord knows I’ve forgotten how to swim, sinking. And neither of us knows which direction the air bubbles are going
