lyrics

his mouth it tastes like candy
his lips are razorblades
the heat is almost soothing
i'm sweating in the shade

his skin is soft and wet
his eyes are window shades
i'm sweating out the toxins
i'm sweating in the shade

it almost feels like drowning
i can't feel him on my skin
i'm so high
it'll never die
no one taught me how to swim

that's all in my mind
each and every time

he saw me in the bathroom
don't try to hold my hand
i tried to leave my body
i was another man

i don't want to forget
negative bone in my flowerbed
his breath was warm and wet
repeating what he thought i said

"don't tell me you don't want this"
it's a game that no one wins
"you're out in open water,
no one taught you how to swim"

come on in it's fine
worth your weight in wine

a night of symmetry
passed out in the bed i made
another losing fight
oh i'm sweating in the shade

i can't swim

i'm going to self destruct
disaster at my wim
too much is just enough
no one taught me how to swim

i can't swim
