lyrics

As the pollution rises to the surface
It gave us tension, gave us purpose
To wade through the shit we made
And sort it out

She said I'm sorry that I scare you when I shout
I said don't worry, I'm sorry I hit that dirty cigarette out
Of your beautiful
Scorched mouth

Chorus:
So don't hold me back
When I jump into the Yarra
I'm gonna swing across this gorge
Supported by witty lyrics and shitty chords

And I've built bridges I shouldn't have
And I've burnt the ones I should have
And I've got everything I shouldn't have
And you've got my back, you shouldn't have

And she says that you couldn't have
Done what you did
But you did it anyway
And it's clear you'll never change

Chorus:
So don't hold me back
When I jump into the Yarra
I'm gonna swing across this gorge
Supported by witty lyrics and shitty chords

Change verse
So I sat I up in my shitty single bed
Surrounded by those who have passed out and may as well be dead
And I said if I died right now, this is not where I want to be found
I wanna be next to you in your low lit underground bedroom

Where the air stinks of self worth decay
It's such a shame I couldn't think of anything better to say
And though we don't drink from the bottom of the bottle
We'll still sink into the bay

Bridge:
And all my songs they sound the same
Cause all my chords they never change x3
And though I may not look the same, I haven't changed, no matter what I might say

Chorus:
So don't hold me back
When I jump into the Yarra
I'm gonna swing across this gorge
Supported by witty lyrics and shitty metaphors

So don't have my back
Though I'm going through anxiety and panic attacks
And I don't know what for
But I've found support in my witty lyrics
My shitty chords
My cliche metaphors

So watch me fall
