Deep Green - Marika Hackman

Just because I love your skin

Doesn’t mean I’ll jump in

The water’s clean and warm and green

I’m not allowed to swim

I’m scared of getting in

Batteries and Holy Ghosts

Buried in my bag of bones

She said they would help me to grow

Said feeding the stomach is feeding the soul

Spider web and harlequins

Wrapped around your sticky wings

It’s pretty but it’s hurting like hell

Cause I know that I’m unwell

My body’s made of shell

And I know that you can tell

Beat me at my own damn game

Fucking with my goddamn brain

Now I will never win again

Better to love than to have and to hold

I heard that you like to swim

Doesn’t mean I’m gonna jump in

But I’ll put on my swimming set

Cause I know I’m going to get wet

I know I’m going to get wet

I know I’m going to get wet

Just because I love your skin

Doesn’t mean I’ll jump in

The water’s clean and warm and green

I’m not allowed to swim

I’m scared of getting in
