Come, lets go for a swim
I've got my own fishbowl that's quiet and cool
It's well manufactured with only one rule:
Pay no mind to the water
Because its dark and its damn and blackened with grief
The bottom is lined with your own mothers teeth
I took all the stars that surrounded your eyes
As we become friends and you grow with my lies
Now take a damn seat and I promise you'll be glad
Well maybe not you, but this other young lad
Ill always be the ring leader of your fuckin circus
Now if you'll take a look, the water you wade in is anything but
And you'll feel it seep into your bruises and cuts
Now you're held in my hands and I have full control
If you look to your right you'll find the last of your soul
Mum and dad left you alone and all sad
So all you had left was your aunty and chad
But you found out one day at a comforting place
That family is more than the look of your face
You found one real friend and confided in him
But with the help of dear me, he knelt to your whim
You help him as taught, just under the head
Before you cocked your damn gun and blew him for dead
So when you look to your right and see all my plans
You'll cock it again and you too shall dance
I told you death was much kinder than the likes of I
