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
