lyrics

she sits in a locked closet
crying her eye sockets out
bottles and strings
pull to hear the lady sing

let her drown safely
tears shape a swimming pool
Olympic-sized fear

ride the salty tear
it tastes like raw rope and silver
pulling strings
dissolving her heart

let her drown slowly
enough time for her to wake up
and see the damage

all you'd never
try to do again
you say it always
you cry out nothing
choking on the rope
claws bleeding out false hope
or you get the chance
to make it better
for yourself and others
like the white trash mothers
with stoned cold brothers

she's almost better
the closet's unlocked
a puddle of muddy tears
next to nothing on

let her drown silently
God as her lifeguard lets her die
lifeguard sympathy

the funeral was long
always thought she could keep it strong
she kept calm, too
the funeral wasn't for her
