[Verse 1: Marika Hackman]
Just because I love your skin
Doesn't mean I'll jump in
The water's clean and warm and green
I'm not allowed to swim
I'm scared of getting in
[Bridge: Marika Hackman]
Batteries and Holy Ghosts
Buried in my bag of bones
She said they would help me to grow
Said feeding the stomach is feeding the soul
[Verse 2: Marika Hackman]
Spider web and harlequins
Wrapped around your sticky wings
It's pretty but it's hurting like hell
Cause I know that I'm unwell
My body's made of shell
And I know that you can tell
[Bridge 2: Marika Hackman]
Beat me at my own damn game
Fucking with my goddamn brain
Now I will never win again
Better to love than to have and to hold
[Verse 3: Marika Hackman]
I heard that you like to swim
Doesn't mean I'm gonna jump in
But I'll put on my swimming set
Cause I know I'm going to get wet
I know I'm going to get wet
I know I'm going to get wet
[Verse 1: Marika Hackman]
Just because I love your skin
Doesn't mean I'll jump in
The water's clean and warm and green
I'm not allowed to swim
I'm scared of getting in
