Still sleep past the bed by a lull in the parched mouth
that’s mocking still ‘cuz you
still stain all the sheets for lack of a man that will suffer the kid that grew
into a noose like you
ever knew
Bye-bye is a cruise through the doldrums
where tick-tock is mouthing off
where bright night is peddling Faust
and riff-raff is getting cross
in the backseat of moral standing’s cost
when you’re sloshed
Life is disgusting, lovely, and glorious
The wasted, the worried, the hopeless
The flowers of glory that carried our story are wilting and crumbling
The weight of the world is pressuring us to
To find all the answers to questions we once knew
Bleed me dry and watch me crawl
This pointless battle causes crushing blows
Destruction, my witness
My intimate enemy
A Taurus, I'll watch you crawl
Your touch it stings
Your lips leak poison
Your box of hearts
How big is your collection?
Gentle words become twisted
When put into perspective
You fed me lies from the start
