[Chorus]

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds

But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside

Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out

Find nothin' but faith in nothin'

Wanna put my tender heart in a blender

Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous, then I'm through with you

[Verse 1]

I burn, burn like a wicker cabinet

Chalk white and oh-so-frail

I see our time has gotten stale

The tick-tock of the clock is painful

All sane and logical

I wanna tear it off the wall

I hear words in clips and phrases

I think sick like ginger ale

My stomach turns and I exhale

[Chorus]

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds

But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside

I would swallow my doubt, turn it inside out

Find nothin' but faith in nothin'

Wanna put my tender heart in a blender

Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous, then I'm through with you

[Verse 2]

So-Cal is where my mind states

But it's not my state of mind

I'm not as ugly, sad as you

Or am I origami

Folded up and just pretend

Demented as the motives in your head

[Chorus]

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds

But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside

I would swallow my doubt, turn it inside out

Find nothin' but faith in nothin'

Wanna put my tender heart in a blender

Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous, then I'm through with you

(Rendezvous)

[Bridge]

I alone am the one you don't know you need

Take heed, feed your ego

Make me blind when your eyes close

Sink when you get close, tie me to the bedpost

I alone am the one you don't know you need

You don't know you need me

Make me blind when your eyes close

Tie me to the bedpost

[Chorus]

I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds

The lack thereof would leave me empty inside

Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out

Find nothing but faith in nothing

Want to put my tender heart in a blender

Watch it spin 'round to a beautiful oblivion

Rendezvous, then I'm through, now I'm through with you

[Outro]

Through with you

Rendezvous, then I'm through with you
