Alex Ebert - Sink Or Swim Lyrics

Will you please wash my ship? It's dirty
The floor is nice if you like concrete
I want everything around me to hurt me
But I don't care to change my red spattered sheets

It's this smell, stale air
When I shave my hair
I'm pretty sure I don't care
I won't say from there
To my yellow chair
And I stare and stare
At the paint on my wall
And I wait for your call

But when I ask you to look with me at the ground
Would you find it to be a strange request?
And if I asked you to please be miserable with me
Will you try your best, baby?

[Chorus]
Sink or swim to the bottom
Oh, sink or swim to the bottom
Yeah

I'm so concerned about the way I look
I want you to kill my face with your pretty words
Well people say they can read me like a book
But I want you to judge me by my cover
Be my lover, hover over me like my mother
Be my agitation, my destination when I recover
We'll smother one another, be depressed
Young and restless, and wait around to be discovered
And I want a disease I can put my hands on
I pull and squeeze, and throw a tantrum
With tin foil windows, talk all day
With nothing to do, and too much to say, now

[Chorus]
Sink or swim to the bottom
Oh, sink or swim to the bottom
Yeah

I wanna be a genius but not reach my full potential
I wanna have not 4 not 3 but maybe one credential
I want to off that people from Pacific to Atlantic
Then overdose, become a ghost, because that's so damn romantic
I'm half schizophrenic, but there's no need to panic
Simply makes life more dynamic for me
I tell myself, "God damn it man, how can you stand it, man?"
I tell myself the same story

I'll be forgotten soon
And I'll live a life that's doomed
Yes I set the tone, my health
And keep all my brilliant ideas to myself
[Chorus]
Sink or swim to the bottom
Oh, sink or swim to the bottom
Yeah, sink or swim to the bottom
Yea yea yea, sink or swim to the bottom
O-o-ttom
O-o-ttom
O-o-ttom
O-o-ttom
The bottom
The bottom
The bottom
