lyrics

Know it’ll be the death of me
Forces all the breath from me
The lifeline on my palm ends at my thumb
always knew that I’d die young
I’m so guilty somebody kill me
I’m nothing but this misery
Can’t be complacent, living life adjacent
To everything my mother wants
Don’t know what I want
Don’t know why I do the things I do
So far removed
From them and you

Deadlock the clock sits still
look for the next cheap thrill
Keep your meat I’m taking bones for dinner
In a game of loss I’m a winner
No-
What do you know?
Who did you tell?
What do you sell?

I got an itch that’s in my brain
What do you say?
I’ll fake it then i deal with the shame some other day
They can’t touch you if you’re always running away
All I am can easily be replaced
Be replaced
Be replaced

Fall into the sinkhole baby
this what you wanted? No, maybe
Fabricate it til I can’t take it
Hold it safe-now break it

I’ll sleep in the dirt tonight
Go on tell me I was never right
I don’t want love, ain’t for me
These things feel so tongue in cheek-
To cheek
I like it when you’re on your knees
Plead, you look so sweet
Sweet
Sweet

I make my self so sick
(I)
Bending my thumbs to my wrists
(Only)
Don’t touch me it makes me nervous
(Feel)
Who else could deserve this?
(When I)
I only feel when I-
only feel when I-
I only feel when I hurt
I only feel when I—hurt!

I got an itch that’s in my brain
What do you say?
I’ll fake it then I deal with the shame
Some other day
You can’t touch me if I’m always running away
All I am can easily be replaced
Be replaced
Be re-
