Borrow time and sink even further,
Death doesn’t want any more deals,
Masquerading around in my armour,
When I’m surrounded by friendly fish,
Am I sick for thinking that everything is going to hurt me?

Charcoal eels slip by my tongue,
And wrap it up so I can’t talk at all,
I’m ashamed of their selfish ways,
I’m not drowning anymore,
I’m just sinking into the waves.

White water still remains,
Even though I’m miles underneath,
I’m catching a cold but I don’t care,
Whether or not I’m alive I don’t care,
Curfew was at 9 but I don’t care,
But I really, really want to.

Here comes the great big shark,
He only ever eats off bits,
My mind getting smaller and smaller,
I can’t walk anymore,
I’m bleeding out once again,
I apologize, Mr. Shark, please leave me alone.
Please, leave me alone.
I’m not your enemy.
