I was born dead
I always knew
Mama believed in me
But I was up to no good
I use his hand
To put out my cigarette
I want him to die
But just not quite yet
And I’m an animal
And you’re just skin and bone
And I’m a murderer
And you’re walking home alone
We’re all animals
Pretending not to be
Pretending we’ve overcome
Our natural urgencies
But you’re all liars
You love the taste of blood
Give into it
Give into how it once was
And I’m an animal
And you’re just skin and bone
And I’m a murderer
And you’re walking home alone
I’m messed up, I’ll admit that much
You love the taste of blood on my tongue
I’m an animal
And I think I’ve met my match, bring it on
Don’t you want to get some

Used

It was nice to meet your friend
Sorry he’s only permanent
On a stone
I’ve got friends like that too
And your mom said she was grateful
That I was there when you heard the news
As if I was the key to calming your insides
I’m nobody’s key
The sun it always sets so pretty
When death is in the air
And I tried to tell you something new
But it only felt borrowed
It only felt used
You say you haven’t talked like this in years
That warms, but I hope you’re still hiding things
So my silence is easier to swallow
Please tell me you’re still lying just a little
My silence has always made me inadequate
I wish I could talk about it
But I don’t visit her anymore
I don’t regret my silence on the subject
What good does it do if she’s not coming back for her son?
She’s not coming back for anyone

Turn Over

Turn me over, dead eyes
I’m waiting for the sun to rise
A stretch of parking lot
Below feet made to run
You apologize profusely
You were angry so you used me
But you turned me over, dead eyes
So I know that’s not the whole truth
No, that’s not the whole truth
What does that say about me
I tangle myself in your twisted sheets
Over again, silent, pliant
Because "no" never meant a thing to you
Smile at me, sad eyes
So I stay until the sun rise
You know I always had a weak spot
For boys that remind me of myself
You apologize and mean it
‘Cause you hate the way you’ve done this
Maybe I wasn’t so good to you
But baby never like this, no never like this
I wouldn’t turn you over in hate

Attention

You say that you feel lucky, you feel lucky
And I’m laughing to myself
‘Cause I’m surrounded by a mess I made
In a panicked sort of empty day dream
And you’re picking at my open wounds
And I feel a certain type of special
I’ve never felt before
Maybe you’re selfish
Or maybe this is just how it works
Are these just lies we tell ourselves
That if we dig a little deeper, it’ll get better, it’ll get better
Yeah these are lies we tell ourselves
You ask for my eyes when we talk about this
But all I want
Is just your goddamn attention, your goddamn attention
I’m jealous of the way you sleep beside me so easily
And you’re less afraid to trust because your arms still work
‘Cause I’m paralyzed in a mess I blame
Myself for almost entirely
I’m picking at my open wounds
And I feel a certain type of broken
That I’ve never felt before
Maybe I’m selfish
Maybe this is just how it works
You’re gonna leave scars
When you go
I’m gonna leave scars
When I throw
When I throw this, throw this all away
You’re gonna leave scars
When you go
I don’t want to throw
Throw this all away

Are you leaving or are they taking you away?
Are you hungry I’m swear I’m fine if you stay
I could make you a bed, tell you about my day
Even if you don’t utter another word I wouldn’t want this ending any other way
I saw something in you
Something they said could not be found
And if you really feel nothing we’ll get along just fine
Baby when they come for you, when they come for you
I’ll lie
Did I tie you up too tight?
Can you breathe enough to get air in your lungs?
Any more and you’ll feel hope
Hope is dangerous, hope is deadly
I saw something in you
Something they said could not be found
And if you really feel nothing we’ll get along just fine
Baby when they come for you, when they come for you
I’ll lie
Are you breathing?
Are you weeping?
Are you sleeping?
Are you choking?
Are you breathing?
Are you weeping?
Are you sleeping?
Are you hoping they come for you
I saw something in you
Something they said could not be found
And if you really feel nothing we’ll get along just fine
Baby when they come for you, when they come for you
I’ll lie

Listen

You still think it’s cool to want to die
When the remnants of the end parade around my thighs
And i’m ashamed and you want what I have with no shame
I wish you could take the pain from me (if you want it so bad you can have it)
And you couldn’t possibly understand
You say what is required but it’s meaningless
And do you want to die, do you want to die?
Well, I only do sometimes
But I’m holding out for better things
Things you’d have if you’d only listen
And I guess I should’ve talked this out sooner
Before it all came out in one big heaping mess
And I’ll smile ‘cause I’m fine, push those thoughts aside
You only listen when you’re talking, only listen to yourself
I don’t feel well
Maybe I just need some sleep
And I wash my body clean
But I still feel so dirty, still feel so dirty
I don’t feel well
Maybe I just need to rest my eyes
And I wash my body clean
But I still feel so dirty, still feel so dirty
You never listen to me
I feel cheap; I feel dirty
You never listen to me
I feel cheap; I feel dirty
You never listen to me
