[Intro]
[?]
[Chorus]
I'd fuck off if you'd just ask me
But everybody else just stands there, laughing
I really thought this through, yeah, it's you
Something 'bout the way you stab me
Then patch up the wounds
Kinda like it never happened
[Verse 1]
Brass knuckles mounted on my fists
Sweat and grease, let it drip
Like a Typhlosion, my body is molten
I will not let opportunity slip
It's all for the kid, that I had been
I fucking miss him, but I shouldn't let
Adolescence turn to co-dependence
Just how in the fuck did we grow up to this?
I'm sorry if you don't like my voice
'Cause I don't еither, I do not have a choice
I takе a break for a couple days
Then I come back, just to fill the void
I'm so annoyed by every noise
And a breath away from breathing poison
A leap of faith isn't what I'd take
Just freefall into clairvoyance
I don't keep track of the shit I accomplish
Trying my best to avoid being pompous
Now the weight of the world's being pushed on the girl
Who had given me hope for the things I had wanted
Ain't that some bullshit
Honesty lies in between the cracks
Of what we deem that is evil
But we can't live without it, can't live without it
[Bridge]
Oh, it feels like I stall time
When I submerge myself in a foreign pathogen
All feels well, till I cross that path again
Flicker the blood off your hands into mine
What an orthodox method of covering crime
I just wanna cry, she just wanna crash
Just leave me behind, there's no going back
[Verse 2]
But what if I fuck this up again?
Would you be my only friend?
My mentality's kicking the bin
'Cause honesty lies within sin
With every thought, grows ornery tension
Every night I'm a loss, and I'm building retention
Stars don't cross if you don't pay attention
My tears don't drop if they're not worth a mention
You cannot feel what I feel
She's probably not even real
I'm probably not even real
So I'm going in for the kill
[Chorus]
I'd fuck off if you'd just ask me
But everybody else just stands there, laughing
I really thought this through, yeah, it's you
Something 'bout the way you stab me
Then patch up the wounds
Kinda like it never happened
Did it ever happen?
