I can't even fuck you
I can't feel my teeth
I can't get your brother's
wrist to leave
If you don't cut your legs in the bathroom
I'll take the cigarettes off my skin
You were just a little girl
when you were hurt by him
Will we ever learn to smile?
No they lost their kid.
Who will be her maid of honor?
She just lost her friend
I've been taking too many downers
my whole band is scared
You set yourself on fire
I was standing right there
We can't feel emotion
We just want to be dead
Your father started hearing voices
The pills won't clear his head
Is there more to life than breathing?
Is there more to life than grief?
Everyone that I know
is fucked beyond belief.

I can't tell if I'm the best or worst
thing that's happened to you
what's happened to me?
I'm doing all I can babe
all I can babe all I can
to try to hang on to my last ounce of sanity
Well things are getting distant
I mean for myself
I never meant to put you
back on that shelf
why don't you just go
just go just go please stay
my head is taking over
it wants you away
What's happened to you? What's happened to me?
What's happened to you? What's happened to me?
I hate you and you love me
I hate you and you need me
All you'd have to do is tell me to not breathe
and I would stop breathing
I would do this for you
why don't you speak up
speak up speak up hurt me
cut out my eyes burn my tongue
tell me to see
well you're slowly dying
slowly dying with me
you're the only reason I could ever want to be
why don't you hurt me
hurt me hurt me hurt me
What's happened to you? What's happened to me?
What's happened to you? What's happened to me?
I hurt you and you love me
I hate you and you need me
Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me Kill me

baby I got something to say
don't you turn your head
don't you walk away
you see I've got this gun
I've got this shell
and baby I'm gonna blast myself to hell
you're gonna watch watch watch watch as I slide
you're gonna look look look look in my eyes
you're gonna see baby see what it means to die
you're dead to me now
baby I got something to say
don't you turn head your head
don't you walk away
you see i've got this noose
at the end of this rope
it's a perfect fit
fit for my throat
baby i
i got something to say
don't you turn your head
don't you walk away
you see i've got this knife
i've got this wrist
and baby i'm gonna
make a little slit

I don't ever want to go back
please don't ever send me back there
they fucked my mouth full of charcoal
they raped my throat with their charcoal
won't you rape my mouth?
go on fuck my mouth
go on put it in my mouth
go on rape my mouth

you can take anything you want
if you know how to phrase the question
a tongue can cut more than a knife
cleaving the deepest bones
the darkest eyes
a lying man knows words equate to pain
we all own someone
i will own you too
violation
violation
use whoever you want
for whatever you need
i can show you how to phrase the question
my last breath will be
used on harming you
please look forward to
the day my life will end
a dying man knows words equate to shit
we all own someone
won't you own me too?

send my love to the last person i've destroyed
i'm no man just a still a lonely selfish boy
i sent you away with less than when you came
thank your brother for dying
since then i've only known pain
he never felt a thing
blood pools spreading over his bed sheets
i cried for death and a breast
to bury myself in
my voice becomes lost in the environment
i see the cuts and the lights
when i try to sleep
haunted by the taste of vomit
licked off your feet
he never felt a thing
blood pools spreading over his bed sheets
i don't feel a thing
blood pools spreading over my bed sheets
