Lyrics

It’s not what you say,
it’s what you mean
No point in speaking
figuratively

And since you’re going
out this evening
I think that I
have caught your meaning

Drowning in molasses
It’s the sweetest, slowest death
you’ve ever seen
Air tastes awfully bitter
Yeah, I think I’ll keep on swimming

There’s nothing here
to keep me going
The end is near
I think it’s showing

This diving mask
will not come off
The air is stale
and I’ve gone soft

Suffocating in sunlight
My lone friend darkness won’t keep shadows to my face
Yeah, the dark used to scare me
But it lets me alone
like any other place

(there’s nothing I can do)

I wish you never left
But you still did
Now you best leave

Leave me bereft
With all your bags
beneath my eyes,
among my misdeeds

And evil
rubs off on me
Your evil
keeps me around
should you
need
me

And evil
Your evil
And evil
You're evil…
