lyrics

(Intro: Kirk)
I used to write letters to you, you don’t remember, do you?
The way you’re acting now you would think I never knew you.
Maybe, I didn’t…
Maybe, I didn’t…
We go from-
Flawed lovers to perfect strangers.
All those words said in anger.
They're all meaningless now.
It's all meaningless now.

(Verse One: Kirk)
That the tide got me. I’ll die, probably.
Never even got to say goodbye properly.
Godspeed, whoever I am… is not me.
So maybe this if for the best.
I’m a selfish asshole-- more or less.
Heart’s broke, can’t afford to love.
Headed for the depths. Can’t afford a breath.
To be honest though, my only friend was Pornhub.
I’m Kurt Cobain, she was my Court Love.
So I courted her…
Love tortured her, water boarded her.
I should have warned her first.
I should have warned her first.
Where are you? This is the part you come back, right?
Don't you see me here? Love, don't you leave me here.
I don't want to drown.
I don't want to drown.

(Hook: Kirk x2)
I know I let you down, I know I let you down.
But don't let me drown, don't let me drown.
Don't let me drown.

(Bridge: Kirk)
Maybe, one day I'll make it back to you.
Maybe, one day I'll make it back to you.
Maybe, one day I'll find my way home.
But for now...
I'm lost in this nowhere town.
Trying to find myself but I don't know how.
It's a long way down, it's a long way down.
I got a ways away to go....

(Verse Two: Kirk)
You couldn’t fathom the silence.
The melancholy all the laughing disguises.
I spent my whole life looking for something--
Never thinking I would happen to find it.
The void is real.
I have family I’m avoiding still.
Write with a poison quill to kill the feels.
Try to hold on to something but nothing’s real here.
… Oh, you’re still here?
… I feel weird.
I thought you said it’s not that deep?
I thought you said it’s not that deep?
Now my words could never reach--
