Cold nights have brought me
Closer to myself
And I like the way I feel
More than I really should
I can make myself happy
More than you ever could
All by myself
more than I really should
more than ever, you ever could
I like the way I feel
I want to know it's real
There he is on the ground
He's not making a sound
I think I did something wrong
but I'll just justify it later on
in the arms of my mom
she'll right the right for me to be alright,
okay whatever you say can I go out again to play?
They'll be times in life you cross an enemy
hold your shoulders still and breathe steadily
keep your conscience thin before you split in two
alright, okay, can't be with you every day
I'm venomous, vicious, vile, too malicious
Infamous nemesis, where do you want to be?
Somewhere clean, out of my magazine
Somewhere green, just you and your rabbit queen
there you go again, thinking it's all about you
here we go again, making it all about you
even if you're right, there's so many like you
Stop
Turn away look away because the latter going up tonight
Turn away look away because no ones going home tonight
because I'm venomous, I'm vicious, I'm vile, too malicious
Infamous nemesis, where do you want to be?
I'm sick of always being taken for granted
sick of my faith being taken for granted now the time has come so take advantage
I'm sick of always being taken for granted
take off and run
throw it away
they never wanted you anyway
so take off and run don't look back
they don't need or want you back
here's a tune
where time prolongs the wound
is it too soon
too soon for you
so what's there to gain, saying my name
doused in disdain and causing you pain
say my name
here's a tune
where time prolongs the wound
is it too soon
too soon for you
take off and run
throw it away
they never wanted you anyway
so take off and run don't look back
they don't need or want you back
Everyone should be as sick as me
so I can feel a little less lonely
passing my pride for confidence
symptoms of vanity
hold consequences
my brothers gone
but I still got my sisters
and my mother and her many misters
my hands are covered in blisters
from breaking down bridges brick by brick
overthinking it has her leaving me too quick
it left me too quick, love lessons never stick
we fall apart in two and can't be fixed with glue
come on admit, you're a straw man,
finding comforting in a garbage can
say it with a straight face,
you're so close to the fireplace
paper words burn, ashes remain
but memories, they leave a stain
The minute that you said that its over
I went out and bought a four leaf clover
But no luck, good try, there's something inside
that stops you from putting down your pride
I get it you're so wrong and so afraid
the foundation that you stand on has decayed
admit it that you're judgement is out of line
I can't see how you see yourself so Devine
one day you'll realize
you sold yourself comforting lies
oh no
