CHVRCHES - How Not To Drown (Feat. Robert Smith)

I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown And if the words float up to the surface I'll keep them down This is the first time, I know I don't want the crown You can take it now You promised the world and brought me it hanging from a string Stuck it in my mouth, into my throat Told me to sing That was the first time I knew You can't kill the king And those who kiss the ring Tell me how It's better when the sun goes down We'll never escape this town I wasn't scared when he caught me Look what it taught me Tell me how It's better if I make no sound I will never escape these doubts I wasn't dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down I'm writing a chapter on what to do after they dig you up On what to do after you grew to hate what you used to love That was the first time I knew They were out for blood And they would have your guts Tell me how It's better when the sun goes down We'll never escape this town I wasn't scared when he caught me Look what it taught me Tell me how It's better if I make no sound I will never escape these doubts I wasn't dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down Watch as they pull me down Watch as they pull me down Pulling me down Dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down Watch as they pull me down Watch as they pull me down Pulling me down Dead when they found me Watch as they pull me down I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown And if the words float up to the surface I'll keep them down This is the first time I know I don't want the crown You can take it now You can take it now Take it now
