The River That Never Lets You Drown

the river that never lets you drown oh cry baby save me your tears oh cry baby tell me your fears i will chew them up and spit them out so please tell me what it’s all about i’m leaving my heart out on the table raw i’ll decompose as she thaw you can pin it up on your board for darts and hurl your knifes at my moving parts oh cry baby cry me a river and drown i’ll put on my finest gown my face inflates words fight their their way out of my mouth and all my humanity goes down south cry baby is gonna cry all she wants and she is gonna have to deal with our taunts cry baby’s words don’t mean a thing cry baby’s sobs start to sound like a sing cry baby look at the scene the woods the flowers, you’re our cry baby queen over there is a river full of tears but you will not drown crystallized electrolytes make your crown poor baby don’t cry i never meant to make you want to die we put glitter bandages over your heart so we can start this process from the start
