Lyric

The scent of damp concrete stings my nostrils

The sound of your fingernails tracing old scars on the desk

It echoes, unnaturally loud

In my hand, a soda that's gone completely lukewarm

Every time a bubble pops

I get the illusion that our remaining lives are being shaved away

One second at a time

Through the gap in the moldy curtains

I saw the setting sun streaming in, making the dust motes dance

It was beautiful—like looking at the carcass of something through a microscope

You said, "I don't need eternity,"

But I... I’m wishing for this moment to be vacuum-sealed

Just like that lizard preserved in formalin

The sunset rotted away a long time ago

And a sky like a purple bruise is spreading out

Hey, can you hear it?

That's not the sound of a second hand ticking

It’s the sound of something breaking apart

Shall we just melt away?

Inside the cider of this locked room

Like fish who have forgotten how to breathe

Gasping out nothing but sweet, sugary lies

We’re drowning while remaining transparent

Becoming specimens that no one will ever find

(Low and cold)

The sweat soaked into the collar of my uniform

And the faint, chemical scent of hair gel

Your profile is blacked out by the backlight

Instead of saying "Goodbye,"

You drank the rest of the carbonated water

The raw reality of your Adam’s apple moving up and down

That was the only real thing left here

Hey

Take me away

To somewhere that isn't here

To a place without gravity

Or perhaps... to the bottom of a bottomless sea

Sweet, sweet... suffocation

Disappearing into bubbles

Bye-bye
