Swimming Pool - The Front Bottoms

There’s comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool

I’m holding my breath for you

There’s no doubt in my mind

That if you could, then you would try

To crack my ribcage open

And pull my heart right through

There’s comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool

I’m holding my breath for you

There’s no doubt in my mind

That if you could, then you would try

To crack my ribcage open

And pull my heart right through

But I’m a creature

Of a culture that I create

I’m the last one on the dance floor

As the chandelier gives way

And I am permanently preoccupied with your past

I’ve been around long enough now

To know that the good things never last

They never last

There’s comfort in the silence of a living room

The TV is on for you

Hide in your basement

While your house burns down

Your teeth are loose inside of your gums

They will eventually fall out

Follow an orange extension cord

Under a carpet, to a closet door

Feeding the black light

That will someday make me very, very, very

Very, very rich

But I’m a creature

Of a culture that I create

And I’m the last one on the dance floor

As the chandelier gives way

And I am permanently preoccupied with your past

I’ve been around long enough now

To know that the good things never last

They never last

How low is your self esteem?

How low could it possibly be?

And I know, I know, you’re in love with me

And I’ve been ignoring you

I will stop cutting my pants into shorts

I will address the issues I cannot ignore

And I will do the things I think you might like

And I will be alone, probably the rest of my life

There’s comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool
