Zoë Emery - Hydrochloria Lyrics

If I were a selkie I would shed this stupid seal skin
It's starting to drown me, and regression is a sin
But it's all I know, I don't want to grow
I wish one cigarette would last all night
Little match girl, do you have a light
Light blue spirits like will o' the wisp
Puffs of paranoia escape my lips
Hydrochloria stings then strips all sensation
Digging deeper into undeserved desperation
Maybe I just have an oral fixation
Maybe I just need to lower my expectations
Hydrochloria stings then strips all sensation
Digging deeper into undeserved desperation
Asphyxiating on my own absurd aspirations
Sentiments submit to suicidal ideation
Bile rises like a bitter melody that demands to be sung
But I must bite my tongue

But it's all I crave, I can't be saved
I keep my finger from the socket though it longs for the shock
I keep my hand in my pocket though it loves to walk
Into my mouth after picking the lock
I can't be trusted to make sense when I talk
Hydrochloria stings then strips all sensation
Digging deeper into undeserved desperation
Maybe I just have an aural fixation
Maybe I just need to lower my expectations
Hydrochloria stings then strips all sensation
Digging deeper into undeserved desperation
Asphyxiating on my own absurd aspirations
Sentiments submit to suicidal ideation
