lyrics

Strung out on therapy, junk food, and thc
Sitting here wishing you were too
So I could peel off your skin
And see the things that crawl within
Just so I’d have something else to do
Hot and red inside my head
Bleeding out and playing dead
Ripping skin and sifting through the goo
Burning up and burning out
Famine, pestilence, and drought
Dancing with insanity with you

Let’s tear each other up
Let’s break each other down
A pair of tawdry jesters passing back and forth the crown
Let’s laugh and scream and sing and roar
A dialectic metaphor
To show us what we’re living for
So cut me up and do it with a smile

Who needs a knife when you have nails
Crocheting blankets from entrails
And cuddling up beneath them next to you
Fingers running through your hair
Pretending that I really care
And trying to convince myself I do
I’m ready for another round
These broken bodies breaking down
Butchered, braised, and boiling in a stew
Until there’s nothing left but ash
We’ll scrape ourselves into the trash
So I can rot and putrefy with you

Let’s fuck each other up
Let’s burn each other down
As the smoke begins to suffocate
And blood begins to pound
Let’s laugh and scream and sing and roar
Swimming through the guts and gore
Drowning but still wanting more
So eat me up and do it with a smile

My teeth are rotting from my mouth
From gnawing on my pain and doubt
I’ve lost the will to speak, and I can’t chew
Cause I’m so fucking lonely
And I don’t know what to do
Existence is a prison but I’ll share a cell with you
This body that betrayed me
Is screaming for release
If I give in to its demands, then maybe I’ll find peace
The will to live is fleeting
And I know that yours is too
But we can rip ourselves apart and build ourselves anew

Let’s lift each other up
As we burn it to the ground
As the smoke begins to suffocate
Our blood begins to pound
Let’s laugh and scream and sing and roar
Collapsing on a bathroom floor
We’ll push till we can’t anymore
We might be dead but we’ll be back
We might be dead but we’ll be back
We might be dead but we’ll be back after a while
