lyrics

I don't like it one bit
but I gotta admit
that the walls on you are caving in
with malicious words
cold blood to adverse
we're nothing more than a dead letter
go back to where you came from
you'll find your old shoe box
full of my deep-six time and effort
full of your hazy eyes and your hasty lies
goodbye, it's really been a pleasure
oh, sweet shame
tell me who has who to blame
you should consider yourself lucky
you still get to walk away
oh, sweet flame
you are such a goddamn shame
you violently erupted
but only ashes remain
you know you don't hold true
to those things that you
write in pencil on pads of paper
but maybe I'm fucked up too
because I just wanted to
love you like your father did
pack my shit, cut it at the lips
and leave you to wipe your blood up with your tongue
oh, those walls are caving in
oh, I see your chest sinking
oh, those walls are caving in
oh, I see those teeth sinking in
