Blue on the Bathroom Floor

[Verse 1]
Blue on the bathroom floor
Empty bottle by the sink
Every mirror feels like judgment
Every thought a missing link
[Chorus]
Self-sabotage
You old ghost friend
You say you guard me
Then you cut again
But I’m so tired of this same old war
I want to walk out that familiar door
(yeah, I’m walking)
Away from the hurt I poured
Blue on the bathroom floor
[Verse 2]
I keep tripping my own footsteps
Pull the rug from under me
Say I’ll change it all tomorrow
Then tomorrow never leaves
[Chorus]
Self-sabotage
You old ghost friend
You say you guard me
Then you cut again
But I’m so tired of this same old war
I want to walk out that familiar door
(hey, I’m trying)
I’m learning what this pain is for
Blue on the bathroom floor
[Bridge]
I write it down in shaky lines
All the ways I cross my wires
Name the fear
Then breathe it out
Turn my poison into choir
[Chorus]
Self-sabotage
You old ghost friend
I hear your story
But it’s gonna end
‘Cause I’m done dying just to feel secure
I’m gonna love this heart a little more
(oh, I’m learning)
Each small step is something new
Blue fades to a softer hue

Slow, smoky blues in 6/8, male vocals with a weary rasp. Hollow-body guitar bends around the vocal, upright bass walks gently, brushed snare shuffles soft. Verses stay hushed and intimate, then the chorus swells with organ pads and a subtle harmony line. Final chorus drops most instruments for a near a cappella moment, then returns with a warm, hopeful turnaround chord.
