Ten Thousand Bubbles

Ten thousand bubbles

in my bathtub late last night

carried the weight of all that I deemed to be wrong and right

They kept me afloat but I put up a fight

Closed my eyes to turn out the light

I wanted to drown without giving any warning

To be finally at peace

and found dead in the morning

I dragged myself down

like a lamb to my own slaughter

But the music ceased as I slipped under the water

I laid awake in silence as

my

lungs

filled

with

liquid

See you can't die if you never actually existed

It's so fucking twisted

Oh, look how we drifted

cause you could never make me feel real
