Floating In The Forth - The Twilight Sad

So you just stepped out

Of the front of my house

And I’ll never see you again

I closed my eyes for a second

And when they opened

You weren’t there

And the door shut, shut

I was vacuum packed

Shrink-wrapped out of air

And the spine collapsed

And the eyes rolled back

To stare at my starving brain

Fully clothed, I float away

Down the Forth to the sea

I think I’ll save suicide for another day

And I picture this corpse

On the M8 hearse

And I have found a way to sleep

On a rolled up coat

Against the window

With the strobe of the sun

And the life I’ve led

Am I ready to leap?

Is there peace beneath

The roar of the Forth Road Bridge?

On the northern side

There’s a Fife of mine

And a boat in the port for me

Fully clothed, I’ll float away

Down the Forth, into the sea

I’ll steer myself

Through drunken waves

As manic gulls

Scream «That's okay»

Take your life

Give it a shake

Gather up

All your loose change

I think I’ll save suicide for another year

I think I’ll save suicide for another year

I think I’ll save suicide for another year

I think I’ll save suicide for another year

I think I’ll save suicide for another year

I think I’ll save suicide for another year

I think I’ll save suicide for another year

I think I’ll save suicide for another year

Another year

Another year

Another year

I think I’ll save suicide for another year
