ou said you were held up with something,
you were nearly dead when they found you
cleaning the swimming pool out with your teeth
You came out of it all unsteady,
shaky and unrecognisable
sneezing red and white right into the water
I'll force feed you,
salt and water,
until you sick up what you did
'cos you fucked up,
and that's so unlike you
you're usually so well balanced and i swear
We were making history, you were just making a mess
cleaning the swimming pool with your teeth
you came out of it all unsteady,
shaky and unrecognisable
sneezing red and white right into the water
and that's when they found you
father, murder. that's all she said

And these little accidents keep on happening
the pool, the car and the way you look at her
It's all a little too easy and a little too quick
I want you to slip that bit slower
Hey man, i saw your sister at a party,
she's turning out exactly how you never wanted to be,
she's shaky and far too proud of the fucked up kids she gets connected to
and can you tell her she won't find anything in the bottom of that bottle she hasn't found a thousand times before
there's nothing to it
Hey man, Iv'e seen your sister at a party,
she's turning out exactly how you never wanted to be,
scratching around for excitement on scabby floors, slipping on bloody knees and open sores
there's nothing to it

and I'm glad you invited him,
like to know what I'm up against
but he's a prince and you're a mess
but do you remember,
yeah you used to be better,
before you started getting low in your car
you got so dull
and it's boring to see you like this,
strung out and bust up
when did you get so spineless?
getting low in the back of your car
and now your checking in,
pressing hard against his crown,
gold on white, white on gold
and he's a magician,
conjuring dirt cheap tricks
he's Mark Wilson and your Nani Danelle,
he's still too good for you
and it's boring to see you like this,
strung out and bust up
when did you get so spineless?
getting low in the back of your car
you got so dull

Everything dies, and that's a fact
but i know everything that dies,
won't ever come back
and is it really worth it?
getting angsty over a phone call?
there are some things I'm never getting back

i can see you're going through your motions
painted red and you're barely breathing
cut up, beat down, lucked out
positive thoughts man, positive thinking
'cos you're not the prince you once were,
but your not as bad as her, no not if you tired
you kept your crown, but it's slipping
like the sweat on your head, like the girl in your bed
and everything starts and everything ends
you just enjoy the conflict, and the cuts that come with
treading water, trading awkward glances. It's far too easy.
and like I said, everything ends
but these endings get romanticized
I'm just hoping your's does to
you kept your crown, but it's slipping
like the sweat on your head, like the girl in your bed

And Allardyce isn't even a real name,
and there aren't strings attached to anything,
so why to you keep going back to hers?
She only makes you worse.
And I heard they found that kid dead,
waterlogged and born again.
I only met him once, but he seemed so much better than you.
like, sorry dude but I'm not convinced of your worth
and Goodbye Sky Harbour seems so long,
when your not really listening.
you never really listen.

and why is it so hard to get together? I'm tired of expecting you to make it happen, but far too drunk to try myself. She said the highs are pretty high, but the lows last so long, I come out of it broken & bored.
and we all knew what was going on in the pool, it was all tongues and lurches and bodies quaking in unison. Obviously it excited you to be around so many people. I don't think that justifes it.
But if these are the sort of things you need to do, to not feel so shit, then so be it. I know that you're slipping. I don't want you gone.
*I hardly think those things you do to yourself are in any way constructive, But then again i hardly think at all anymore.*
And I don't think Elliot Smith is helping. It's not cathartic if he makes you want to die.
and you wonder why you're not invited. You're becoming depressing to be around. The cut, and the burns and the way you look at her. It's all a bit predictable.
AND IV'E NEVER HAD FRIENDS LIKE THE FRIENDS I DO NOW. HOW DO I GET RID OF THEM? HELP ME GET RID OF THEM.
