Bloodbather

Once in my life

I’d like to take the gloves off

I’m up for a fight

My nagging mind won’t shut up

I can’t stand the head shake and finger wag

I’d like to sock my piety in the eye

Once in my life

Once in a while

The bottle hits me too hard

And just like a child

I tear my conscience apart

I should hold my Jiminy Cricket dear

Still, I dream of choking him in my bile

Once in a while

Fuck that, there’s gonna be a blood bath

(Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise)

Water your vitals and walk it off

Don’t light yourself on firе when your world is fine

For once in your lifе

Fuck that, I’m swimming in the blood bath

(Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise)

Life’s an abscess or apple pie

So shut those demons up

And devour your slice

For once in your life

I don’t want to be a crass prick

I’m trying to give a shit

Trying to tame this selfish sadist

But it’s a beast and it’s not having it

A brass bull in a china cabinet

I’m a creature of bad habits

With two hooves in the casket

I don’t fit in this photograph

I’d like to get my visage back

Flimflamming like an acrobat

Every scumbag needs a blood bath

‘Bout time I take my swan dive

Once in my life

Once in my life

Once in my life

Once in my life

Fuck that, I’m drowning in the blood bath

(Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise)
