lyrics

MY HEAD HANGS HEAVY WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR GOD
WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR MEDICINE
OR OVERWHELMING MARTYRDOM YOU SEEK
AND I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING BIBLE
AND I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKING HELP
I DON'T EVEN NEED ANYTHING FROM YOU

Forge my ambitions in the skin
Annihilate any chance I had of remembering my life before I began
To read and write like all my heroes
But they only existed on paper,
What a ridiculous waste of effort
My mental economy can't take it

Cut my initials in the dirt
With a pocket knife, made out of bones and tape and plywood
Keep small talk to a minimum
I don't much feel like talking, words become drops in a waterfall
I'm an open book with words I stole
I wasn't ever an ocean, but I knew the kid who was
I wasn't ever the intrinsic complex of applause
I never wrote you that letter,
I've been an awful son of sons


Swallow my words dry like bitter pills
I encourage others to lead their lives in ways I never will
It wasn't that I was ever lazy
I just was void of empathy
You always knew that didn't you
Eradicate all fucking purpose
I can't afford the weight it puts on my skin, always the coldest
Always the emptily room, cigarette butts eat away my gums
Till I'm a goddamn circus freak
Feed me trash and point and laugh
Enclosure dim, my eyes bloodshot
I said I couldn't imagine life like that when its all I ever bought
Smuggle me in your insides, I'll be cocooned and sound asleep
It's all I've known, it's all I've known, it's all I've ever fuckin known
