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 k** 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
