Dropping
Rainbow Butt Monkeys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm dropping, I'm falling,
Like water, like water.
I hear it, it's calling,
Me over,
I'm over.

Breathing, brings me,
One step closer.

Breathing, brings me,
One step closer.

You scare me, with what,
You're doing, you're doing.
I'm feeling, you pushing,
Me over, I'm over.
Breathing, brings me,
One step closer.
Breathing, brings me,
One step closer.
I'm only kidding, don't believe me.
I've never been, this unclean.

I've been thinking I've been having too much time to myself.
I've been looking through the window, I kill myself.
I've been holding onto nothing, overlooking the wall.
Give me something that will leave me alone.
I've been thinking I've been having too much time to myself.
I've been looking through the window, I kill myself.
I've been holding onto nothing, overlooking the wall.
Give me something that will leave me alone.
I'm dropping, I'm falling, Like water, like water.

I hear it, it's calling,
Me over, I'm over.
Breathing, brings me,
One step closer.
Breathing, brings me,
One step closer. I'm only kidding, don't believe me.
I've never been, this unclean.

I've been thinking I've been having too much time to myself.
I've been looking through the window, I kill myself.
I've been holding onto nothing, overlooking the wall.
Give me something that will leave me alone.

I've been thinking I've been having too much time to myself.
I've been looking through the window, I kill myself.

I've been holding onto nothing, overlooking the wall.
Give me something that will leave me alone.
