House Aflame Lyrics

I can be relied upon for nothing less than patently perversely narcissistic disappointment (I swear it)
I will do my worst to do my best
I'll try to try: leave nothing left
Except my A-bomb and my ballistic ammunition

Half brain, halfwit
Full blame, full charge
Guess who, guess right
Selfish, self large
Self incrimination of a trumped down declaration of no principles and no mercy

I've been telling the truth
And swearing it's a lie now
Manning a booth
Dedicated to my step right up
Pin the tail on my cowardice
'Cause I'm two faced, bald faced (shit faced)

Vestеd in disinterest
I wanna claw to the corе barest of my breast
I wanna rip at the ribcage swinging open, open
Set the house aflame I've made the beds
I burned the corpse
But I saved the head
Go on, go free, I know you're lost 'cause you're talking to me

I can be dissected without using any tools
My innards give away but nothing of my guileless ruse, bitch
I will do the least to hurt the most
So try to cry, behold my ghost:
He looks just like me
But with more vigor less transparency

Soulless, soul suck
Mind crime, mind fuck
Luckless, muckfest
Don't care, not there
Purposeful omission of the human kind condition
I'm a dolled up apparition

I've been telling the truth
And swearing it's a lie now
Manning a booth
Dedicated to my step right up
Pin the tail on my cowardice
'Cause I'm two faced, bald faced (shit faced)

Vested in disinterest
I wanna claw to the core barest of my breast
I wanna rip at the ribcage swinging open, open
Set the house aflame I've made the beds
I burned the corpse
But I saved the head
Go on, go free, I know you're lost 'cause you're talking to me

Vertebrae display alacrity in housing hearts with ribs like candy
A peppermint stick to prick the carotid artery
Red and white striped agony - you see, this awaits me

See you
I want to see you
So it pains me
To know that I don't care to care

See you
I want to see you
So it pains me
To know that I don't care to care

Vested in disinterest
I wanna claw to the core barest of my breast
I wanna rip at the ribcage swinging open, open
Set the house aflame I've made the beds
I burned the corpse
But I saved the head
Go on, go free, I know you're lost 'cause you're talking to me

Vested in disinterest
I wanna claw to the core barest of my breast
I wanna rip at the ribcage swinging open, open
Open, open, na-na-na
