lyrics

The outer space tooth beauty
Is drawing me out into this storm
In the dumpster is where I sleep
Like old winter shoes hard-worn

You picked me up, twirled me around
And I landed a kiss on your cheek
I stepped away to see if you’d frown
You flared up and looked so sweet

Now we talk like businessmen
Even though you hate the patriarchy
So I don’t know what to do when
You act like everything is just peachy

I think you’re trying to kill me
That’s why my fingers are bleeding
That’s why my throat is itchy
Because you don’t need me

You withdrew your golden gun
Then you shot, now I’m fading
Feel my heaviness kill the fun
I watch your blood-soaked hair cascading

Left me for dead with your last words
Vultures gather to feast on me
I’m sure it’s going to get worse
I need a cloth and a cup of tea

You say “likewise” as if I want
To greet you and shake your hand
That word’s a bullet in my heart
That’s why I’ve got a new bandage

Because you’re trying to kill me
That’s why my fingers are bleeding
That’s why my throat is itchy
Because you don’t need me

I think you’re trying to kill me
That’s why my fingers are bleeding
That’s why my throat is itchy
Because you don’t need me
