Drown With Me
Porcupine Tree · Other Songs - Porcupine Tree
And you have been abused
You know you look pale today
Your lipstick has gone astray
You sold out and lost your looks
You gave away all your books
You should drown with me
Your coil has been wound up tight
Unwind it with me tonight
You should drown with me
Tyre tracks fresh on the ground
Where she will be found
Held under the water
Resting there in a stream
View from the cold water
Buried in green
Orange filter sky
Your drowning in family there
When will you come up for air
You should drown with me
Don't feel you let them down
'Cause they have already drowned
You should drown with me
