lyrics

wavered, if only at first
then, with my hands raised and a big shit-eating grin,
I knew my poison was kicking its way in again
and all my choices would not be choices I’d chosen

we lay in glistening tumult
and I’d hold her close to my chest like stolen treasure
pretend my big giant brain didn’t know better

it’s guns or butter vs. guns and butter,
I’m like some kind of revolution

shivered as we scorched the earth
but then we put paints on our face and felt all better

I won the lottery and bitched about the taxes
and I win this thing like every single day
I tried to feed the beast for fear the best would eat me
yeah I’m pretty proud of how my flesh must taste
and I’m sure you’re beautiful, but I’m busy with this mirror
yeah I stare like I’m scared I’ll forget what to hate
and I know you’re grading me, but I’m paying that you’ll curve it
and fingers crossed everyone else does the same
