about

There was conflict around the original version of this song, so I wrote a new story with friends.

lyrics

I guess I just made it the bottom of the sea
after you tossed me off your ship
Under waves of uncertainty
That flowed out from your drunken lips

Convinced that I wouldn’t
ever see the light of day

But when it comes down to it

You tangled me up and weighed me down like an anchor on a chain
You thought I drowned but I’m still there swimming in the back of your brain
You tried to cover up

So I hope the next ex you try to kill knows how to swim
You’ll try again. You’ll try harder…
But you still can’t get rid of them

‘Cause ghosts don’t disappear
You’ll never see the light of day

Cause when it comes down to it

You’ll get tangled up and you’ll get weighed down like an anchor on a chain
You thought I drowned but I’m still there swimming in the back of your brain
You’ll never cover me up

it’s oddly beautiful
at night
you might catch me swimming
not covered up
