[Verse 1: Eyedea] Teeth marks on the skin The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing me that I was him We like to feel the blood and fat dripping off our gums She likes to talk directly down the barrel of her gun Learning to perfect the ancient art of quiet rape You've always been so warm and calculated, I owe you a thanks Eyes wide shut, I promise not to fall awake Lick the guillotine and tell you how the gasoline tastes The grass is always greener on the other pesticide Solemn precious crept through the mess to shed it's infectious high What's for me to know and you to find Guilty, the almighty praised adrenaline Such an underwhelming thrill Where there's a will there's a wake Burn me at the stake Who the hell am I trying to fool? I'm a fool, I feel so fake One last goodbye before I take my .45 Shoot a hole in the sky, rip it open And climb inside
[Hook: Eyedea] Empathy is the poor man's cocaine And love is just a chemical by any other name I like the way your pheromones make me sleepy This far away I still smell you inside me Empathy is the poor man's cocaine And love is just a chemical by any other name I like the way your pheromones make me sleepy This far away I still smell you inside me
[Bridge] Tie me down till my sweet nothing's sour I screwed up trying to squeeze 65 minutes from an hour Outnumbered by such a large amount No wonder why we lost the battle, the counter-culture can't count
[Verse 2: Eyedea] Welcome to my private hell There's no one to fight now, enjoy myself I'd rather drown than ask for help I wish I was someone else Mr. Perfect, Misconstrued Lead the way, follow through You probably hate me, I do too You're so much like me I feel sorry for you But I think you're pretty, pretty sure You will profit, you will get hurt I eat my words they taste like dirt I'm only ashamed because I know what it's worth Find my comfort inside blame Shove my pride back down my face My worst habits waking up at least once a day Balance barefoot on a needle heaven's just a jump away
