lyrics

Rubber ducks they watch me while I wash
The fucks and cares I gave today away
I try to let the water pull the noise out of my skin

They grin, the child in me smiles back
What is it like to simply lack
A brain and heart and blood, only a squeak inside of you

And I cannot quite tell if all their lives are simply hell
Or maybe they enjoy themselves
And bodies are more than a cell

Just sitting there, watching, smiling
Eyes open, eyes wide, no control
I’m a bit uneasy, how do we know they’re not living
As soon as we give them faces of their own
I don’t know

Maybe I am wrong to pity
Must be nice to fall and simply bounce
They’re sturdy little things what’s it like to be made out of rubber?

They can make a noise that’s not quite happy not quite sad
But it’s the only noise that they know how to make
Do I wanna steal it, do I wanna feel it, I don’t think I want

Utter ignorance, or is it bliss?
And they’ll never get to run or laugh or kiss
Do you think they miss me when I leave or maybe

They would like to be alone, wish I could ask
If they want me to give them names or give them away
These are what my thoughts are like today

Just sitting there, watching, smiling
Eyes open, eyes wide, no control
I’m a bit uneasy, how do we know they’re not living
As soon as we give them faces of their own
I don’t know

Rubber ducks they watch me while I wash
The fucks and cares I gave today away
I try to let the water pull the noise out of my skin
