Drown - Marika Hackman

Oh I am bold

As brass posing as gold

You can shine me all you want

But I am hard as I am cold

To know your faults

To know yourself

I suit me well

And I was born with a healthy appetite

For all that glisters

White and pure in the light

I had to find your words, your heart

Well, where can I start?

Oh, to drown in your mind

I would, I know I would

To suffocate in your smoke

I’d choke on you if I could

Maybe I will

And if I’m rough

You’ll course into my head

You can polish me for hours

But I’ll always look best in your head

We wished for lakes

Been kissed by sun

We found not one

Hundreds, then some

So, I’ll drown in your mind

I will, I know I will

And suffocate in your smoke

Die stuffing my lungs with their fill
