Sour Breath (2015 Demo Version)
I know you do better when you’re by yourself
Free from the weight of my dirt-poor health
New drugs to fix all my missing cells
Didn’t bring it up ‘cause I’d done so well this week
And I thought that if I tried
A little bit harder you’d stay this time
Still got nowhere to be
And I don’t do too well when nobody’s worried
When nobody’s worried about me

And I shouldn’t have built a house in the middle of your chest
Plywood boards joined at your breast
Splinter in my arm where you’d rest your head
Check my watch ‘til you come to bed
Kiss me goodnight with your sour brеath
Breaks on my face like a wavе of emptiness
And when I talk, just taste regret
You’re everything I want and I’m all you dread

Watch the poison leak from your pores
Call the liquor to keep you warm
Burn everything down to prove you could
Leave me inside a body made of wood

It's too late to talk, just go to sleep
Been up too long and you've been drinking all night
It's almost a week and you haven’t said a word
Been thinking it isn't worth the try
It takes to fix everything you hate about me
All that you don’t wanna see
The harder I swim, the faster I sink
And all I ever wanted was to pull you down with me
Is to pull you down with me
Don't you wanna sink with me?
Don't you wanna drown with me?
So let me pull you down
