lyrics
I'm still hung up and never letting go
Of past versions of those I used to know
Worst in mind, makeshift scapegoat
Ignoring impatience with myself
Forgiveness forced by the unapologetic
Unwarranted advice from the unqualified
Fucking sick sick sick of all these sycophants
Give me give me give me a can of pesticide
Chase them far enough maybe someday they won't come back
Who then will I blame when I veer this train off the track
Situations that you've made that you've brought upon yourself
You got the things that you always wanted now fucking live with the consequence
Temper, temper, temperamental
Chop my leg off and count the rings
Can you see the years of emptiness
Despite all I've known, the closeness of a friend
Not bound by blood, but by books we've read
A bathtub in the basement filled with dirty ice
And a heart shaped hole that could never suffice
The hand that once bestowed such warmth and presence
Through angered storms became cold and distant
The bus is leaving town tonight but you were denied
I'm playing chicken with the ground off a cliff to a nose dive
Is it a sin to be too trusting to see the best in everyone
I must confess I'm no longer human whatever that means to anyone
Despite the pain and manipulation
When self love is confused with selfishness
Despite the lack of reciprocation
When forgiveness is confused with innocence
The road ahead may look so bleak
When you’re inundated by fragments of the internet
The world may be cold and the world may be uncaring
You have to carry the fire for goodness sake
Pull me back, let it go, throw me deep into the unknown
I'm the catapult to my own cannonball, with the path I pave I can call my own
We didn't come this far to only come this far
Of past versions of those I used to know
Worst in mind, makeshift scapegoat
Ignoring impatience with myself
Forgiveness forced by the unapologetic
Unwarranted advice from the unqualified
Fucking sick sick sick of all these sycophants
Give me give me give me a can of pesticide
Chase them far enough maybe someday they won't come back
Who then will I blame when I veer this train off the track
Situations that you've made that you've brought upon yourself
You got the things that you always wanted now fucking live with the consequence
Temper, temper, temperamental
Chop my leg off and count the rings
Can you see the years of emptiness
Despite all I've known, the closeness of a friend
Not bound by blood, but by books we've read
A bathtub in the basement filled with dirty ice
And a heart shaped hole that could never suffice
The hand that once bestowed such warmth and presence
Through angered storms became cold and distant
The bus is leaving town tonight but you were denied
I'm playing chicken with the ground off a cliff to a nose dive
Is it a sin to be too trusting to see the best in everyone
I must confess I'm no longer human whatever that means to anyone
Despite the pain and manipulation
When self love is confused with selfishness
Despite the lack of reciprocation
When forgiveness is confused with innocence
The road ahead may look so bleak
When you’re inundated by fragments of the internet
The world may be cold and the world may be uncaring
You have to carry the fire for goodness sake
Pull me back, let it go, throw me deep into the unknown
I'm the catapult to my own cannonball, with the path I pave I can call my own
We didn't come this far to only come this far
