WATER IN MY LUNGS
Chorus 
I cant breathe
the water’s in my lungs
Help me im sinking
Or leave me, im learning to swim

Verse 1
Fighting for air because you took my breath away
And not romantically, you just grabbed it
Like it was yours
Like it was yours
Looking around looking everywhere blindly
Hoping maybe someone better will find me
But I am yours
Regretfully yours 

Verse 2
Sailing across the sea with no sense of direction
Looking for answers in my own reflection
Run away
Running away
Fighting against my own soul and my own heart
But you have got your forceful hand around both parts
Like they are yours 
Like they are yours

Verse 3
running away from love like its an age old plague
but not romantically, I don’t want it
if its like yours
if its like yours
wondering why you warped my view on everything
anamatronically, I lived and breathed for you
like I was yours 
like I was yours

bridge 
maybe you wanted to feel in control
a lion in love with a sheep
what happens in nature when beasts are allowed
to love what they normally would eat
what happens when they get hungry
what did I do to make you so hungry

water in my lungs

if my body is carved wood
are you the tree or the sculptor 
is this the start or is it nearly over
time is irrelevant
when my mouth is at your shoulder
tenderly he holds her
lovingly he
through the night he holds her

If i’m made of all things light
Are you the sun and im the moon
Will it all be dark 
When i’m left all on my own soon
Is irrelevant
When you’re standing 
In the mirror
In his mouth he needs her
Cautiously he
Through the night he feeds her
Over and over and over
Until he bleeds her

over & over

SOMEDAY
it’s the someday of it all
why i can’t let you go
like maybe we’ll fit perfectly 
when we’re worn out and old 
and if i wait too long you’ll find her
and sew her to your side 
so that if and when i have you again
she first will bleed you dry 
I cant stand the thought of losing you
All because i
Was too impatient to wait out the mystery
Of what we might 
Become

Its the someday of it all
Why i let that shit go
All the red flags sticking out of the mud
Yelling at me to leave you alone
But i can look past all your selfish
I can look past all your crimes
So that if and when i’m deep enough in
I find one thing right
I can’t stand the thought of loneliness
All because i
Can’t get past a few unforgivable things
That you’ve already
Done

water in my lungs
