Deep End

Used to be so careful with yourself
And now you're pulling at the seams of what
You had there on the other side
All the pretty useless things

There's no greener grass around
It's so wet, you're just slipping
Cover all the mirrors in your house
With newspaper and string

Cutting off my corners
(There's too much loose skin)
Keeping up with anger
(Living on courage)
Losing sense of style
(Never even had it)
Four spaces backwards
(Like I'm a piece of plastic)

Laying in bed to end
(Five feet over mattress)
Always too tall to ride
(Head hitting the attic)
Locked up in the basement, my temptation
Upstairs the heartbeat keeps me awake
Won't you come jump off the deep end with me?
I won't be forever crazy alone

Used to be so critical of all the shit
That you couldn't control
Crumbling into life like a routine
That's really getting old

There's a clock ticking to time bomb
5 PM it starts to blow
And you'll take the long way
Because you don't wanna go home
9 AM call time
(Feeling like an intern)
Donuts + Coffee
(Getting through the winter)
Never had style
(Didn't even want it)
Now dressed up in plastic
Just forget it!
Won't you come jump off the deep end with me?
I won't be forever crazy alone
Making friends with fake fried fish
Knowing I can't be growing
When I've polluted everything that I've known

Won't you come jump off the deep end with me?
We won't be forever crazy alone
Crazy alone
