Livingstone Road

Cigarettes and coffee keep me
From waking up in my own sweat
Soothing numbness of a coma
Without being close to death
Hopelessness and empty bottles
In a bed made with regret
I’ll close my eyes but I won’t sleep
Until your memory leaves my head

While the fire was burning in the depths of the sea
I stayed under water and adapted to the heat
You can’t drown me (you can’t drown me)

Do you stand by your decisions
Even the ones that were made for you
Words are knives that make incisions
And leave scars carving in open wounds

You hold me back you clip my wings
Just to stand there and watch me graze my knees
I’m feeling trapped in my own skin
If you’re so called ‘sympathetic’
Where have you been?

While the fire was burning in the depths of the sea
I stayed under water and adapted to the heat
You can’t drown me (you can’t drown me)

You can’t drown me

While the fire was burning in the depths of the sea
I stayed under water and adapted to the heat
You can’t drown me (you can’t drown me)
While the fire was burning in the depths of the sea
I stayed under water and adapted to the heat
You can’t drown me (you can’t drown me)
