Second Bite

from Learn to Swim - EP by Evertim

lyrics

Introducing me,
My own worst enemy,
Won't you take a seat,
Witness to my needs?

Such speaking of subconscious is suffocating,
Anxiety nights removing those potential memories.

I never asked you for this,
I never asked you for this,
I never asked you for this,
(Say your goodbyes)
I never gave me a chance,
I never gave me a chance,
I never gave me that second bite.

It's not so hard to breathe,
With my head above water
I'm drowning all the same.
It's not so hard to close my eyes,
Tired but fighting
Depression: say goodnight
So goodnight.

'You can't beat yourself up like this, Alex.'
Tuesday nights, sunken eyes.

You had a hold on me,
All of my foes.
Playing the victims and the villains
You stole the show.
I thought I was known to be
All on my own.
But if the voice is dead, it's in my head,
I'm not alone.

I knew I'd waited out the long haul,
Too many night spent out on my own.
I knew I'd waited for the wrong call,
This time I'm taking my meds, I'll get it right
Second time.


It's not so hard to breathe,
With my head above water
I'm drowning all the same.
It's not so hard to close my eyes,
Tired but fighting
Depression: say goodnight
So goodnight.

This is where I learnt how to swim
(Every poison person I know),
Finding my sails, pull me out, let me begin
(Every poison person I know),
This is where I learnt how to swim
(Every poison person I know),
Finding my sails, pull me out, let me begin.

Every poison person I know, I wanna let them go
(Every poison person I know, I wanna let them go),
Every poison person I know, I wanna let them go
(Every poison person I know, I wanna let them go),
You had a hold on me,
All of my foes
(Every poison person I know, I wanna let them go),
Playing the victims and the villains
You stole the show
(Every poison person I know, I wanna let them go).
I thought I was known to be
All on my own
(Every poison person I know, I wanna let them go).
But I'm not alone
(Every poison person I know, I wanna let them go).
