Your Bath Runs Cold // 9:19 PM

Deep red flowing back down the drain And through the pipes of this desolate place They made you this way They made you this way Wading through what's left of you Never meant to see you this way But as But as I scrub the pain off your arms Spills out onto the pink tiles Step right over the porcelain tile One foot then the other One foot then The other I'll carry your half dead weight And coddle your head Careful not to disturb your golden thoughts Sat on the back of the tub fully clothed Already drenched In this mess they'd say you made I don't have to ask who did this to you They made you this way They made you this way Now look at this place Absent color of your face Iron water seeps through my favorite pair of jeans These pair of jeans Ruined underneath Your naked body And we lay And we lay In the running water Til it grows cold Til it grows cold And your body runs warm Until your breath runs steady And I know But I know you're still there Still there You're still there Step right Step right over the porcelain tile One foot then the other Then the other Then the other I know you're still there You're still there How cruel of me How cruel I've been To take you out of this place An effervescent dream You've never looked You've never looked How cruel of me How cruel I've been To take you out of this place I can feel the ache in your bones From this place From this place How cruel of me To take you out of this place How cruel of me How cruel I've been Step right over the porcelain tile How cruel I've been How cruel I've been One foot then the other Then the other I know you're still there I know you're still there I know
