PTV - The Aquarium Incident

Verse 1

Saltwater

Stinging my eyes

Plastic tubs stacked high in the kitchen

Crawling

Scratching

Tapping on the glass all night long

I can't sleep

The filter hums a heavy low

The lettuce is gone

Empty

Shells clicking against the ceramic tile

Green scales

Cold blood

Heavy shells dragging on the floor

Chorus

There's too many

Yeah there's too many

Swimming in my bathtub

Swimming in my sink

I'm drowning in the reptiles

Drowning in the green

They stare with ancient eyes

They know I'm losing my mind

One more tank and I might break

One more tank and I might break

Verse 2

The smell

Wet moss and algae blooms

The humidity is peeling the wallpaper back

Tanks

I need more tanks

Running out of room to stand

Ten

Twelve

I stopped counting at twenty-four

Wet carpet

Soggy socks

The power bill is burning a hole

Red ears

Slider heat

UV lamps blinding me at noon

Chorus

There's too many

Yeah there's too many

Swimming in my bathtub

Swimming in my sink

I'm drowning in the reptiles

Drowning in the green

They stare with ancient eyes

They know I'm losing my mind

One more tank and I might break

One more tank and I might break

Bridge

They follow my feet

They wait by the door

I see them in my dreams

I see them on the porch

Slow

Steady

Silent

The beak snaps shut

The water overflows

The glass is cracking

The glass is cracking

I'm outnumbered in my own home

Chorus

There's too many

Yeah there's too many

Swimming in my bathtub

Swimming in my sink

I'm drowning in the reptiles

Drowning in the green

They stare with ancient eyes

They know I'm losing my mind

One more tank and I might break

One more tank and I might break

Outro

Just one more

Maybe just one more

Swimming

Scratching

Don't look at me like that

Don't look at me like that

The water is rising

Rising

Rising

Green

Green

Green

Help me

Help me

Help me
