I FEEL UGLY ON THE INSIDE I FEEL NERVOUS AND AFRAID I FEEL MY EYEBALLS TURN TO SEWAGE MY GUMS LEAK DOWN MY FACE I AM HER DAUGHTER'S BLACK REFLECTION THE SENSE OF DREAD, SPIT SHINED REGRET I HAVEN'T LIVED FOR FORTY YEARS IN GALLOWS, SHAMELESS RECOLLECT
What's the point if all I'll know is these same old scares These haunts convert me into faith, Fill my tongue with prayers What's the point if I'll only know ambiguous treason My rooms a fucking mess, Getting out of bed would take a reason
Maybe I can go away, Study medicine and paintings Become better than they thought I'd be When I wasn't so bad as I am Maybe I can slave away Work my fingers to coal and tendons Fire up the six string Devils Show the sorrow beyond my years
I'm not an artist, please don't forgive me I just gave up when I was much younger than you I'm not a spectacle I'm a parasite, glowing, self loathing Unfriendly arms folded past due
I never thought I'd be a waitress Until the hunger pains called my bed, in curling knots and teeth Digging deep into my spine My rotting Adam's apple met with infected fingers in 4/4 time It's about time I built myself up I got a long long fall from here It's about time I brushed dirt off again Don't ring your fuckin bell till I told you to
I'm eating hand written letters Sent home from a million miles away Never taste the same as they used to Every shade of her lipsticks turned to gray I'm made up of grenades Cocktails fit different glasses shapes Unlike the free world I used to really be free UNLIKE THE FREE WORLD I USED TO REALLY BE FREE
