Abscess

(Verse 1)

Your eyes are like a local anesthetic

Like an ointment used to soothe an abscessed tooth inside a lion's head

And I've tried to pull it by the root

But the pain that you showed me makes me know it's absolute

Well boo hoo

Me loving you

Push me til the end right down to the floor

Now ye have abandoned me

A thousand leagues under the sea

And now I can't calm down to get a hold of myself

Maybе I can lie to you and tell you that I'll get somе help

(Verse 2)

What a mountain of evidence stacked against me

Climb it to the top, have a stunning look at my hell

Bodies are prison cells, made of cells

That smell is not plastic burning you just made my heart melt

Nobody can clean up this landfill

That I call a brain

So it just spills

Forty years of garbage, unfilled

All of the people that ever acted it better love me still

Thank you. Fuck you too

Thank you. Fuck you too

Feed me something that will make me numb enough to one day promise you

Or something better than a fucking fire view

Doctor bring me anesthetics for this abscessed tooth

(Chorus)

I've found that time is going to do what time does

And by now baby you should have made your mind up

You saved yourself but don't self-destruct

Don't play with knives if you can't take the blood

Sometimes life doesn't add up

(Verse 3)

Baby wipe your fucking face

Only real ones allowed around me these days

Give me some space, okay?

This ain't the day Ima fade

Hooray

Piccolo, I'm green skin white sands

Miss, I'm a Martian pussy CAT scan

Backhand compliments, bloody floor plans

(A.A.)

Functioning alcoholic, fog machine

Breather, two seater, what you call it?

A banshee or a black bunny rabbit matted black fleet

Popping wheelies, negligent, we might flee

And if we do I think you'll follow close behind this Winnebago

You think I'm Plato

I lay low

Then super say so all the way though

Pulling the sleigh exempt of gifts

My life is no longer the pits

Rather it's now the pit

(Chorus)

I've found that time is going to do what time does

And by now baby you should have made your mind up

Protect yourself but don't self-destruct

Don't play with knives if you can't take the blood

Sometimes life doesn't add up
