[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?
