let me hold you
in my hand
don't open up
I can't

I won't leave anytime soon
I've been here for a while

stay soundless
stop looking inside your head

one day I'll stop hurting myself

we love ourselves in toxic ways
you kiss tastes like chlorine

feels like we never stop drowning
swimming down
keep on swimming
swimming down

my love smells like gasoline
you're the wildfire
burning us down
