lifesavers - maeve noiré lyrics
you ran the water, warm and high
said, “let’s wash the day goodbye.”
you hummed a song i used to know—
i didn’t see the undertow
rubber duckies, baby suds
you smiled while pulling off my gloves
“you’re safe now,” whispered in my ear
but i was sinking into fear
i thought your hands were meant to heal
but they were anchors made of steel
the water kissed my open eyes—
you said it’s how the bad things die
lifesavers, lifesavers, candy ring
but you were never saving me
you held me down and said, “be still”—
i guess i made your bottle spill
lifesavers, lifesavers, float and lie
they melt too slow when you’re denied
the air you thought was yours to keep—
i learned to drown instead of speak
you scrubbed too hard, like i was sin
like something wrong lived in my skin
i kicked the faucet, begged with tears—
you only smiled and closed your ears
the bubbles popped around my face
i saw my toys float out of place
you didn’t flinch, you didn’t care—
just watched me vanish under there
you called it clean, you called it love
but i sunk deeper than enough
and when i gasped, your grip just grew—
what kind of parent murders truth?
lifesavers, lifesavers, sweet and round
but i was never meant to be found
you whispered, “good girl,” like a prayer—
then pushed me further under there
lifesavers, lifesavers, in your hand
i used to think you’d understand
but now i know the ones we trust
are sometimes just the ones who crush
the tub still sings when i walk by
it echoes back the lullaby
the water drains, but not the stain—
i rinse, and rinse, but it remains
lifesavers, lifesavers, on your shelf
you always kept the best for self
you wore a mask of soap and grace—
and drowned me in your hiding place
lifesavers, lifesavers, sugar sh*ll
but you were never mine to tell
i floated once—now i just fall
you saved no life, not mine at all
“you said it was just a bath… why didn’t i come back?”
