lyrics

i can tell its been a while since you smiled
i can tell its been a while since you've been alright
you saw those words on the wall again
so instead you came in here ‘cause a voice said

that everything seems much better at the oracle
everything seems more peaceful
when you're in the water,
so come in arthur

arthur i told you all about
the bodies laying on white tiles in the water
i know you were told the oracle will save ya
will take away your messes
and hide you away for a while
i cant quite do that
but i can make you smile

I know that you cant tell what i am,
hell you thought my mum was my little sister,
you tell me to get out of the water,
but this is where I’m gonna be stuck forever
and you tried to show people from school,
but arthur you should have listened to my rules,
cause nobody can know I'm alive.
people have drowned so that i can survive

everythings more complex here at the oracle,
everythings deathly quiet
when you're in the water
be careful arthur

I promise that i wont let you drown
if you stay, and
i promise that i will stick around,
please stay silent
because nobody can know that alive and living
nobody can know that i am happily swimming,
here in the oracle alone

everything really lonely at the oracle,
there are bodies on the floor here,
when you're in the water,
i love you arthur
