Without a doubt one of my favorite songs on the album.

[Verse 1]
Bite the hand that feeds the boy
He's beautiful and I'm annoyed
Forty years or days from now
I'd kill myself to cut you out
Sell it and I can't compete
Forced to fight or fill the need
There's wine stains on our bed sheets
'Cause I hate to let you down

[Chorus]
Kissing babies
I'm alive but I'm dead inside
Burying my face against the wall
Silent scathing smile
The family planning aisle
I can feel my sanity dissolve
[Verse 2]
Psychopaths and plagues alike
Kissed the contacts from my eyes
No one's less surprised than I
No, no one's less surprised
Sell it and I can't compete
Forced to fight or fill the need
Bayonet from bruise to bone
I hate to let you down
To let you down
[Chorus]
Kissing babies
I'm alive but I'm dead inside
Burying my face against the wall
Silent scathing smile
Forgetting is heaven while
I can feel my sanity dissolve
[Verse 3]
Bite the hand that feeds the boy
He's beautiful and I'm annoyed
Forty years or days from now
I'd kill myself to cut you out
[Chorus]
He can't save me
I'm alive but I'm dead inside
Burying my face against the wall
Silent scathing smile
The youngest remains of five
I can feel my sanity dissolve
