[Intro]

Yikes!


[Verse 1]

No one should read this

But it must be said

I'm not a big man—no big thoughts—no reruns

I was kept like a sponge in a box, and a corner was split

That is what it's like to die

So I choked in a puddle of my pain until I soaked up all the red

Then, I traced the outer line

-Seduced to birth out a divide


[Chorus]

So if you need a reason to hate

Look up to me, look up to me, look up to me

And maybe someday, you'll find it

And if you need a reason to murder

Look up to me, look up to me, look up to me

And maybe someday, I'll help you out, bitch


[Verse 2]

This elixir ought to be packed under a swamp in Cancun

And locked up—swallowed by a crocodile

Miles from civilization

I make shit [mix it up] up all the time

Like to levitate truth in my mind

Like to make you root against me

You can't trust the judgment

Of the simple-minded criminal that's me

Never meant to say it out loud…

Yikes!


[Chorus]

But if you need a reason to hate

Look up to me, look up to me, look up to me

And maybe someday, you'll find it

And if you need a reason to murder

Look up to me, look up to me, look up to me

And maybe someday, I'll help you out

Maybe someday, you'll find the pitfall


[Verse 3]

Fell down a concrete staircase until she broke her spine

And some may call me a hero, but I've been jaded

'Cause I know

Ever since then, I had been her pet

She don't think it be like that

But it do

And that's a cold fact

-Gelid, like a winter cheek

Well, things ain't what they used to be

She got gone

And that's something that I can't forgive

I can't forgive that

I can't forgive that

There is no compromise


[Outro]

No one should ever know just how tight it tugged
