lyrics

OK
You win again
Philistine
I let you in
My instincts
Brought me down
All my better angels
Were out of town
And I know
You know
The things that we do
In the shadows
Are sometimes realer than true
Just a low beam girl
You flicker in the dark like a warning
But I can’t look away

‘Cause I love the way we drown
Save your stories for your next of kin
Such a long way down
But I love the way we drown

Tonight
We lose our tongues
We break ourselves
We come undone
A fever dream
It never ends
You sink like a stone
But I never jump in
’Til you pull me down
Writhing in the deep
Losing my memories
Lost to the sea
With a cellophane girl
Shining like a natural obsession
I can’t look away

‘Cause I love the way we drown
Tangled up until the bitter end
Wrapped around me like a second skin
I love the way we drown

You’re so faraway but close to me
You’re everything I hoped you’d be
And then you take my breath away
Again

But I love the way we drown
Giving in to what we won’t control
Some sugar fiction meant to save our souls
And I love the way we drown
Bite your lip but you don’t ever change
They’re burning buildings while we shift the blame
Such a long way down
I love the way we drown
(The tyrant’s at a loss)
I love the way we drown
(Veritas, veritas)
I love the way we drown
(Mare novit omnia)
I love the way we drown...
