[Intro]

Flies, flies

[Verse 1]

Sitting here like uninvited company

Wallowing in my own obscenity

I share a cigarette with negativity

[Hook]

Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes

And drawing flies

[Verse 2]

Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemy

Used my inspiration for a guillotine

I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page

[Hook]

Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial

Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride

Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes

And drawin' flies

[Bridge]

I said, "Hey! What you yelling

About conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?

Hey! What you yelling

About sadists, co-addiction, perfect analogies?

Hey! What you yelling

About conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?"

[Hook]

Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial

Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride

Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes

And drawin' flies

(Flies)

[Verse 1]

Sitting here like uninvited company

Wallowing in my own obscenity

I share a cigarette with negativity

[Hook]

Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial

Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride

Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes

And drawing flies

Flies…
