I'll tell the truth: all of my songs   Are pretty much the fucking same   I'm not a faerie but I need   More than this life so I became   This creature representing more to you   Than just another girl   And if I had a chance to change my mind   I wouldn't for the world   Twenty years   Sinking slowly   Can I trust you   But I don't want to      I will swallow   If it will help my sea level go down   But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown   I will swallow   If it will help my sea level go down   I'll take a deep deep breath   But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown      I don't want to be a legend   Oh well that's a god damned lie - I do   To say I do this for the people   I admit is hardly true   You tell me everything's all right   As though it's something you've been through   You think this torment is romantic   Well it's not except to you   Twenty years   Sinking slowly   Can I trust you   But I don't want to      I will swallow   If it will help my sea level go down   But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown   I will swallow   If it will help my sea level go down   I'll take a deep deep breath   But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown      Low tide and high tea   The oysters are waiting for me   If I'm not there on time   I'll send my emissary   If I photoshop you   Out of every picture I could   Go quietly quiet   But would that do any good   Will it hurt? No it won't   Then what am I so afraid of   Filthy victorians   They made me what I'm made of   The brighter the light   The darker the shadow   I don't need a minder   I've made up my mind   Go away      Twenty years   Sinking slowly   Can I trust you   But I don't want to      I will swallow   If it will help my sea level go down   But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown   I will swallow   If it will help my sea level go down   I'll take a deep deep breath   But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown
