Under Water

So you're careful not to push too hard

And you don't want to go too far

But every step that moves you ahead takes you further than you ever wanted to go

And if it's called a home

It doesn't mean it is

No matter how much hope

You pour into it

It's just a waste of time

When you're chasing down that dream

That illusive something that's always slipping through your fingers

I'm looking at the ceiling

Looking at the ceiling

Waiting for the light to come on

And if it feels like love

It doesn't mean it is

There's no one leaving chocolate

Under my pillow case

Oh I had an apple on the top of my head

The target for the arrow that's aimed to kill me dead

In the water

Real is overrated

Going under water

Swimming in the water

Breathing in the water

Breathing out the water

Oh my baby never learned how to swim

He's on another wavelength

Wish I was him

Yeah I'm hanging up my fishnet stockings and trading them in on some warm socks and a comfortable corner to hide myself in

It's crazy and familiar

The panic in my legs

Toxic as paint thinner as it opens up my veins

Wish I could get satisfaction from a great pair of shoes like my friend Poppy

But I'm not happy unless I'm barefoot

Happy when I'm barefoot

Barefoot

Happy when I'm barefoot and blue

Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue

And if it tastes like honey

It doesn't mean it is

You know sweetness is sweeter after bitterness

And if it tastes like honey

It doesn't mean it is

You know sweetness is sweeter after bitterness

And if it tastes like honey

It doesn't mean it is

You know sweetness is sweeter after bitterness

And if it tastes like honey

It doesn't mean it is

You know sweetness is sweeter after bitterness

Bleed it all out

The poison, the venom, the essence, the disillusionment, the disillusionment

Bleed it all out

The poison, the venom, the essence, the disillusionment, the disillusionment

You know a little kindness goes a long way
