Sink or Swim

I’ve spiked these cups with poison, love
To let you have your way with words
Decoding thoughts dripping from your tongue
Darling, I know it’s absurd
But I’ve found you out
There’s no saving us now
I’m burning this plastic house
Ignorance is bliss to a mistress claiming innocence
Blur the lines, ball a fist
How can I make sense of this?
How can you slit my throat
Then wrap your arms around me?
I’d love to stay and talk but it’s
Sink or swim
And I won’t let you drown me
Maybe it’s just my luck with love
Maybe it’s all in my head
Maybe I can’t ignite a flame strong enough
To keep you away from his bed
Fights laced with insecurity
You’ve always got the best of me
Putting on the mask to be
Everything you need
Now I’ve become the laughing stock
A crooked smile, a hopeless fuck
You’re tangled up in sheets
I’m paralyzed by pixels on a screen
It all comes back around
Eventually
How can you slit my throat
Then wrap your arms around me?
I’d love to stay and talk but it’s
Sink or swim
And I won’t let you drown me
Lock me up and tear apart my head again
Lock me up and tear apart my head again
Had me dangled on a string
Guess you never really knew how much
You ever meant to me
I probably should’ve said it
Oh well
It’s all gone now
It’s all gone now
You’re all gone now
It’s all gone now
