Slim
Hug the self inside
Code the shield around the pebble in your chest
Trim
Keep the fake alive
Laugh like that make you any less a dick

I want nothing more than to simply kick you in yo face
But you're too tall
So I'll have my robot army do the dirty work

Pull the skin over the corners that show the evil
Something got caught at the perforation and ripped apart your carefully constructed forehead
Never mind - they make glue for that
That way the demon can get high while it cocoons itself
Disregard the flashbulbs - we're just making sure we never forget who you really are

A stranger
Free radical
Swarm of bees
In the trees
Photosynthesize

Endangered
Metamorphosis
Carbon lifeform
Evolve and devolve

Don't start that again
You might need that excuse for something else
Slow motion running away won't work because I just caught up with you
And it turns out you're not worth the trouble of writing this song

SHUT UP

You stopped and locked your doors when the cop car passed
You said you weren't into it
You said there were people who paid good money to see this
It was a stepping stone
It was a teenage horoscope, a hundred for the last month's bills
I snuck out the fire escape
And now your mother's crushing out another bottle of her pills
You say you can't handle it, incessantly

On again off again
Too simple

Start the car to park the car to start the car to park the car
Stop showing me your scar
Cram the internet into the back of your car
Drive it to the laundromat
And set it on fire
Pretty soon there won't be anyone visible
You're cutting out your eyes
Is it any wonder people like the medicine when the medicine's a knife
I started running away as soon as you looked at me like a conspirator

Severed
Of course
You said things had been bad for a while
So stop shitting on me
I've got 5 minutes to change your mind
