lyrics

Swimming in the water took a dire turn
The kind that’s not foreseen by tarot cards
“Help me, won’t you help me?” only deer and squirrels heard
Won’t somebody help this beautiful girl?

As she’s drifting, drifting in a fantasy world
And unconsciousness slides in
Like a hand that grips and never lets you go
Like a fresh breath into Adam’s lungs
To take all of his breaths off

I know of sins
But this is a lot
I know of sins but this one crossed the line

Swimming in bikinis, just to take them off in five
Minutes in the water’s chilling, otherworld embrace
Someone should’ve told her that from all who left that night
She had the most picturesque passing

Boyfriends, secret lovers, neighbors drooling after her
They should just settle for wet dreams
And a truth so violently bludgeoned in their hearts
Every child is a mistake
Every breath is a mistake
Every sense is a mistake
Your ambition’s a mistake
