lyrics

My love for you is only matched by few
And as I take you to heart, it tears me apart
Your very taste another flavored grace
My only peace of mind found in unwilling eyes

As we lay uncomfortably numb within each other's arms
Going to break you in half but I mean you no harm

CHORUS:
A method as kind as a bullet inside of a gun
Reaching out with a godless decline
Defaced and betrayed by the stereotype we portray
Sensibility withers away
My lament to you
My lament to you

The hate I feel is undoubtedly real
And as I resist the urge, you binge and you purge
A sense of freedom as one of us comes
The greatest joys of sex are found in excess

Disregarded, disillusioned, dormant to a grave
Nothing is enough in spite of everything you gave

REPEAT CHORUS

Well, my wrists may be thick, it's true
But they're thin enough to cut right through
Permanently leave a mark upon your spotless record

And at my requiem, would you please make sure
That they don't try to censor my suicide letter
A testament to the ones who helped me pull the trigger

And the best I could do was the worst you could ever hope for
I said the best I could do was the worst you could ever hope for

I'm fucking cracking up
I'm fucking cracking up
I'm fucking cracking up, yeah
