Lyrics 

There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool 
I'm holding my breath for you 
There's no doubt in my mind that if you could then you would try 
To crack my ribcage open and pull my heart right through 

There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool 
I'm holding my breath for you 
There's no doubt in my mind that if you could then you would try 
To crack my ribcage open and pull my heart right through 

But I'm a creature of a culture that I create 
I'm the last one on the dance floor 
As the chandelier gives way 
And I am permanently 
Preoccupied with your past 
I've been around long enough now 
To know that the good things never last 
They never last. 

There's comfort in the silence of a living room 
The TV is on for you 
Hide in your basement while your house burns down 
Your teeth are loose inside of your gums 
They will eventually fall out 
Follow an orange extension cord under a carpet, to a closet door 
Feeding the black light that will someday make me very, very, very, very, very rich. 

But I'm a creature of a culture that I create 
And I'm the last one on the dance floor 
As the chandelier gives way 
And I am permanently 
Preoccupied with your past 
I've been around long enough now 
To know that the good things never last 
They never last. 

How low is your self esteem 
And how low could it possibly be? 
I know, I know you're in love with me 
And I've been ignoring you 

I will stop cutting my pants into shorts 
I will address the issues I cannot ignore 
And I will do the things I think you might like 
And I will be alone probably the rest of my life. 

There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool.
