[Verse 1]

Left a note on my door

"I don't owe you shit anymore"

I've been wondering when I said that you ever did

Never meant to hold on

Like a sticker on my back

You put it there to mess around, it's not funny anymore

And I'm not a baby I won't

Cry over needles in

My temples and my hands

But if you press hard

Enough I could

Take to your command

[Chorus]

'Cause I've acclimated to how thick your words feel in my throat

My mother says that I'm paling, look me over, and tell me I don't

Feel warm to you, check over my frame

"You're doing fine, I'm the one wasting away"

But I've acclimated so I'll carry you all the way home

[Verse 2]

I know you don't mean half of the things you say to me

Never thought the voodoo doll would be your devotee

And I'm not a baby I won't whine

If you can't come by, won't wait for you

It's one thing to let the blood flow

Another altogether to find the truth

[Chorus]

But I've acclimated to how thick your words feel in my throat

My mother says that I'm paling, look me over, and tell me I don't

Feel warm to you, check over my frame

"You're doing fine, I'm the one wasting away"

But I've acclimated so I'll carry you all the way home

[Outro]

Why do I always choose hell over someplace new?

Tear me down, stitch me up, don't I love this sadist stuff?

Why do I always choose hell over someplace new?

Tear me down, stitch me up, needles never do enough
