I know you do better when you're by yourself

Free from the weight of my dirt poor health

New drugs to fix all my missing cells

Didn't bring it up, cause I've done so well this week

And I thought that if I tried a little bit harder you'd change your mind

I've still got nowhere to be, and I don't do too well; nobody's worried

When nobody's worried about me


But I shouldn't have built a house in the middle of your chest

Plywood boards joined at your breast

Splinter in my arm where you rest your head

Checking my watch till you come to bed

Kiss me goodnight with your sour breath

Breaks on my face like a wave of emptiness

And when I talk just taste regret

You're everything I want and I'm all you dread

Watch the poison leak from your pores

Think all the liquor's gonna keep you warm

Burn everything down to prove you could

Leave me inside in a body made of wood

In a body made of wood

Oh, the harder I swim, the faster I sink

The harder I swim, the faster I sink

The harder I swim, the faster I sink

The harder I swim, the faster I sink

The harder I swim, the faster I sink

The harder I swim, the faster I sink

The harder I swim, the faster I sink

The harder I swim, the faster I sink
