lyrics

DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU GET CUT
IT ONLY TAKES JUST A FEW MINUTES TO BLEED OUT
BUT EXSANGUINATION IS A LENGTHY GAME
TO SIT THROUGH YOURSELF
THE VERTIGO AND THE SPASMS
THE MESS AND COLLAPSING
IT’S HARDLY WORTH IT IF THEY FIND YOU
FACE DOWN IN A POOL OF YOUR OWN REGRET
SO GO OUT AT NIGHT, GET INTO A FIGHT
PISS SOMEONE OFF ENOUGH
AND LEAVE YOUR DOOR UNLOCKED
AND REST EASY WAITING FOR THE PILLOW HELD AGAINST YOUR FACE
IT ONLY TAKES JUST A FEW MINUTES TO SUFFOCATE
IF YOU DON’T FIGHT AGAINST IT ANY HARDER
THAN YOU NEED TO SO NO ONE SPECULATES
PROVIDED NO ONES GUILTY CONSCIENCE GETS IN THE WAY
BUT BRAIN DAMAGE IS A HAZARD THAT’S HARD TO AVOID
IF THEY WALK AWAY AND YOU RESUSCITATE
SO FUCK IT, GO OUT AND GET LAID
TAKE TWENTY SOME ODD SHOTS AND DON’T HESITATE
TO GET FILTHY WITH SOMEONE CLEARLY FUCKED UP THEMSELVES
STILL SHAKING AFTER THE LAST TRACK MARK ON THEIR ARM
AND DO LOTS OF DRUGS AND GET HIGH ENOUGH
THAT YOU MANAGE TO BLACK OUT AND WAKE UP
FAR AWAY FROM WHERE YOU CAME FROM
BUT THINGS LIKE SYPHILIS TAKE A REAL LONG TIME
DECADES BEFORE YOU LOSE WHATEVER’S LEFT OF YOUR MIND
THERE’S ADVANTAGES TO INERT GASSES
AND SHORT DROP HANGING IS AN OPTION
BUT EVERYTHING IS EFFORT AND I'M LAZY
EVERYTHING’S WORK AND I DON’T WANT TO BE
TRYING ANY HARDER, IT NEEDS TO COME NATURALLY
LIKE THE WAY MY HANDS MOVE FLUIDLY, MECHANICALLY
WITH A LIGHTER GRIPPED IN THEM TIGHTLY
AND A BOTTLE OF WHATEVER I’VE MIXED UP LATELY
SO I DONT MEAN TO GET SO SHITTY SO QUICKLY
BUT I’VE BEEN EYEING YOU UP AND I’M CLEARLY
FUCKED IN THE HEAD I DONT MEAN TO BE BRASH
BUT YOU’VE GOT A GOOD ASS AND MAYBE THAT’S ALL THAT I NEED
GET IT ON THROUGH THE NIGHT PHYSICALLY,
NOT JUST WET DREAMS, OF EVERYTHING I’LL NEVER BE
BUT TWENTY SECONDS OF EUPHORIA IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME
SO GIVE ME BRAIN AND TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO SEE
LIKE THE TRUNK OF MY CAR AND A BACK ALLEY
IT ONLY TAKES A FEW MINUTES BEFORE THIS GETS MESSY
DON’T TRUST ME, I’M A CALAMITY
BUT TOUCH ME, I NEED SOME RELEASE
YOU’RE RESPONSIBLE FOR ME, SO WANT ME
TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM AND GET IT OVER WITH QUICKLY
MAYBE THEN I WON’T NEED JUST A FEW MINUTES
AND A BUCKET AND SOME SPEED
NOT JUST HIGH ON WEED, NOT JUST ALL ME, ALL ME
OH GIRL, I CAN SHOW YOU MY WORLD, GIRL
MY BASEMENT’S NOT TOO COLD, GIRL
RELAX AND IT WON’T HURT, NO
