I’m So Beautiful

I've written everything I want
On the back of my hand
And it's all I see
When I block the sun
And all I see when the jury's hung
And all that puts me to rest
On our half acre of land

A train of infidelity that never ends
You crucify your lovers
And fuck your friends
Like a stuffed animal on a victim trip
Your finger curls and bends
Until your sins
Have all been cleansed

Oh yeah

I've committed the most violent acts of non-appreciation
Known to me and you
And it's time for me to speak these revelations
I haven't yet
But I'm going to

I've grown accustomed to the way you look at me
As though I were personally responsible
For World War 3
And while it's true
I single-handedly destroyed the Israelites
With a cloud of deadly fog
I did not kill the dog

Oh yeah

Keep your socks dry
Kiss the mainland goodbye
And when it gets dark
Throw your socks to the sharks

The prison grid turns
And the nano-rain burns
Watch your six
For unscrupulous chicks

The sun was too loud
So I shot down the clouds
Screaming through the scrim
I was surprised they coudln't swim

I don't hate you, baby
Because you're beautiful

If I hate you
It's because I'm so beautiful
