Underwater

I was a mess when you met me

A kiss on the head, they're coming to get me

I should have done less, less intensely

A punch in the chest, a childhood memory

A man who can breathe underwater

A man who can breathe underwater

A man who can breathe underwater

A man who can breathe underwater

New pathways

Like the hurt in your maze

New pathways

Like the burn of a ghost cathode ray

New pathways

Like the churn of the sea in your wake

New pathways

Like the hurt, like the hurt in your maze

It was a time when you met me

A sedative smile, pathetic and edgy

And the clocks were striking thirteen

Valium, ibuprofen, codeine

And now we can breathe underwater

A man who can breathe underwater

A man who can breathe underwater

A man who can breathe underwater

New pathways

Blank and burned on fake highways

New pathways

Ring a rosie round your grave

New pathways

Burst the blackness, morning breaks

New pathways

Oh that lovely sugary taste
