Get my guts all over your fingers
Tell me what you found inside
Was it the sting of my childhood that lingers
Or my often misplaced pride
Did you come to the edge to see I’d
Already taken my trip to the bottom
was it solace you found when it was
somebody else’s name I was calling
You weren’t my worst decision
not my deepest incision
take that however you want
you’re another dry patch in my throat
a hole in my already sinking boat
take that however you want
You could hear me calling miles away
come take these nails out of me
you could smell the blood draining out and staining the dirt underneath
did you come to the cross to see the
hanging body of a broken mother
did you kneel at my feet and carve your
name in the wood with all of the others
You weren’t my worst decision
not my deepest incision
take that however you want
you’re a cigarette pull in a smoking bar
a scratch in my already dented car
take that however you want
Did you come to the sea to seek some
salt for the wounds of your aching lover
did you finally rest when you found me
lying on the shore both lungs full of water
You weren’t my worst decision
not my deepest incision
take that however you want
you’re a fly in my mothers roach infested home
a bruise on my already broken bone
take that however you want
take that however you want
take that however you want

This was a long time coming
and a short-lived moment
but I just can’t shake it
Oh why do I always care
about the things I shouldn’t
well I just can’t take it and
try hard as I may but I’m not the one with the problem this time
Come on
I’m not waiting any longer on you
I don’t know much but I know
I can’t be done with you yet
times up
I’ve done everything you asked me to do
I don’t think much but I think
I might be losing this bet
Fuck I guess I knew better
but it felt so good to be your scarlet letter and
now that it’s done and over
I guess you’ll go back to wishing you were sober
I want the sickness you have
that keeps you from feeling too deeply
Come on
I’m not waiting any longer on you
I don’t know much but I know
I can’t be done with you yet
times up
I’ve done everything you asked me to do
I don’t think much but I think
I might be losing this bet
Oh-oo-woah
Oh-oo-woah, oh oh
Oh-oo-woah, oh oh
Come on
I’m not waiting any longer on you
I don’t know much but I know
I can’t be done with you yet
times up
I’ve done everything you asked me to do
I don’t think much but I think
I might be losing this bet

Give me a break I was never gonna be enough no I always brace myself to be alone for crying out loud you know I’m not proud do what you Gotta do and then drive me home
You’re terrifying me with your kind words
you’re softening the blow but it still hurts
I creep myself out I’m disgusting
you should see what I do when I’m alone
I was hoping you could tell me something I don’t know
was all the poetry by the bedside just for show
well I can’t say that I wouldn’t do the same thing
I am a parking ticket in the corner of your windshield
OK you get it but you still want me gone
a hair in your food but you were sick and starving
you swallowed me like there was nothing wrong
You’re terrifying me with your kind words
you’re softening the blow but it still hurts
I creep myself out I’m disgusting
you should see what I do when I’m alone
I was hoping you could tell me something I don’t know
was all the poetry by the bedside just for show
well I can’t say that I wouldn’t do the same thing
If I could leave you with one thing it should be
knowing that you checked out long after me
I’m a blood stain you’re the feathers of a white dove
Oh what could you possibly be ashamed of
I wake up in my sweat in the middle of the night
I’d like to think I won’t drown but maybe I might
there’s some things that I hide and I don’t know why
Cause I don’t know the last time I had any pride
I creep myself out I’m disgusting
you should see what I do when I’m alone
I was hoping you could tell me something I don’t know
was all the poetry by the bedside just for show
well I can’t say that I wouldn’t do the same thing

If there’s one thing I know for sure
it’s when I came knocking on your door
I did so with a broken hand
and when I saw your pain inside
I guess I thought it looked just like mine
I don’t know why I thought you’d understand
Now come down from the throne I’ve built you
watch it fall while I guilt trip you
Don’t forget that you were the one who
traded in helping hand and
set fire to the promised land
No I know how sorry you are
but apologies won’t get you far
there’s simply somethings you can’t save
I could never hang you out to dry
never leave the room when I heard you cry
well I bought the shovel when your dog your grave
Now come down from the throne I’ve built you
watch it fall while I guilt trip you
Don’t forget that you were the one who
traded in helping hand and
set fire to the promised land
Oh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Oh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Oh oh oh
Woah oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Now come down from the throne I’ve built you
watch it fall while I guilt trip you
Don’t forget that you were the one who
traded in helping hand and
set fire to the promised land
