Do you ever forget to breathe
By the poolside
Does somebody still hold your knee?
And does it matter
Remembering what we're supposed to be
Hypoxic children
Dipping hands in and out
Our fingers slowly melting down
Under the green
Didn't call back
Didn't think you would understand
And I've been fine
Not that's what you were going to ask
Pulled my teeth out
Started listening to that band
That you don't like
Feel my gums rolling round
My tongue soapily fingering down
Around the plaque
Early riser
You had only turned seventeen
When we found that body
Caught under the rushes and weeds
Does it haunt you
Remembering what she used to be
Small town drifter
The deep end tide rolling out
Your memory coldly sifting down
Into the sheen
Adelina
Do you still forget to breathe
By the poolside
Does the body still hold your knee?
It doesn't matter
Remembering what you grew up to be
Anoxic plaything
Slip your mind in and out
The matter slowly melting down
Under the green
