lyrics

I’ve been wondering what went wrong
Why all these boys and girls look gone
Evict the occupants, shred the documents, the runaway bride
Could see the fear rising out of the bridegroom’s eyes when she said

Please don’t go down the drain — every time it rains
Should you choose to remain — it will be okay
But I’ve been feeling overrun, I’ve been trying to give up
Please don’t go down the drain — it’s only pain

I’ve been trying to switch gears
I’ve been pissing away the years
In a job with no consistency
It’s going to the automated industry
Got no structural integrity
So, I’m waiting for the foundations to collapse on me and say

Please don’t go down the drain — every time it rains
Should you choose to remain — it will be okay
But I’ve been feeling overrun, I’ve been trying to give up
Please don’t go down the drain — it’s only pain

I’ve been dreaming of Sylvia Plath
In a warm, Epsom salt and lavender bath
Head of carbon monoxide
Oven-assisted suicide
It’s popularised and glorified
But no one makes it out of this life alive to say

Please don’t go the Hemingway — every time it rains
But should you choose to remain — it will be okay
I’ve been feeling overrun, I’ve been trying to give up
Please don’t go down the drain — it’s only pain
