Swim With Words

[Verse 1] Ink on my tongue Bite down, it runs Spilling in shapes You could drown in once Black hood, bright screen Under-eye gleam Typing out storms Till the keys all scream (ha) [Chorus] Ha, I can swim with words Dive where the letters burn Breath held in every verse I’m sinking, I’m surfacing Ha, I can swim with words Cut on the sharpest terms Bleed till the meaning hurts I’m sinking, I’m surfacing [Verse 2] Chain on my pen Heart in the margins Sad little jokes In the dark, I’m laughing (oh) Teardrops in caps lock Secrets in soft talk You read my pain Like a manga plot [Chorus] Ha, I can swim with words Dive where the letters burn Breath held in every verse I’m sinking, I’m surfacing Ha, I can swim with words Cut on the sharpest terms Bleed till the meaning hurts I’m sinking, I’m surfacing [Bridge] Page turns, page tears Who cares, who cares I twist my fears Into pretty snares (yeah) Say it fast, say it wrong Turn the bruise into a song Every scar, every thought Every “never” gets rewound [Chorus] Ha, I can swim with words Dive where the letters burn Breath held in every verse I’m sinking, I’m surfacing Ha, I can swim with words Cut on the sharpest terms Bleed till the meaning hurts I’m sinking, I’m surfacing (ha)
