lyrics

Her eyes are like pollution
She dragged me through them oil spills
We swam with dead fishes
and I love her still

Her hands are like pollution
Though not like trash
more like a purple sky
A shiny foil wrapper
that holds me hold me hold me hold me

Her lips are like pollution
Steam rising from a wishing
well
She
fills my lungs
And
Makes me sick
And
I love her still

It’s that toxic skin
Her pH rises
as my ozone falls
The temperature is rising
The oceans are rising
Everything is changing
And I
Ooo ooo ooo
