Inspired by a line from Swimming Pool by The Front Bottoms
Sitting at the bottom of a pool
Still wearing all my clothing
Weighed down by a bag
With years of self loathing
Struggling to hold my breath
As the bag held onto me
Well actually me to it
I always had the choice to leave
But I’m not good at letting go
Plus the water hides my tears
So I’ll risk the chance of drowning
To hang on to these years
