Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just because I love your skin
Doesn't mean I'll jump in
The water's clean and warm and green
I'm not allowed to swim
I'm scared of getting in
[Verse 2]
Batteries and Holy Ghosts
Buried in my bag of bones
She said would help me to grow
Said feeding the stomach is feeding the soul
[Verse 3]
The spider web and harlequin
Wrapped around your sticky wings
It's pretty but it's hurting like hell
'Cause I know that I'm unwell
My body's made of shell
And I know that you can tell
[Verse 4]
Beat me at my own damn game
Fucking with my goddamn brain
Now I will never win again
Better to love than to have and to hold
[Verse 5]
I heard that you like to swim
Doesn't mean I'm gonna jump in
But I'll put on my swimming set
'Cause I know I'm going to get wet
I know I'm going to get wet
I know I'm going to get wet
[Verse 6]
Just because I love your skin
Doesn't mean I'll jump in
The water's clean and warm and green
And I'm not allowed to swim
I'm scared of getting in
