lyrics

A lion’s paw
Well I winced a bit at the dried blood in my claws
Never thought
Your awful thorns would leave my awful palms
And my arms feel hollow
With the weight that’s finally gone
You’re gone
Oh my god
I’m moving on

A level head
Knowing not to stick my hand in there again
When you slept
I felt I’d rather something tender, something red
Something better
Than the taste of candy cigarettes and lead
Again and again
Oh my God
Not again

Nine times out of ten I’m lying
And the other one I’m hiding something
Underneath my skin
You’d be better off without me honey
I can’t sleep without my money
Tucked under my head

There’s a voice I can hear
But I forcefully avoid
And employ
The kind of mindset that I had
That it’s not a choice
It’s a choice
To slither through her legs
Without a noise
Like a snake in her veins
I’ll stay here because it’s warm

Speak to me
When you’ve slept between a liar and a thief
And you need
Just a little bit more room to keep your knees
Oh please
Give me just enough to shake the love
And breathe
I can’t breathe
I can’t sleep
I can hardly speak

Nine times out of ten I’m lying
And the other one I’m hiding something
Underneath my skin
You’d be better off without me honey
I can’t sleep without my money
Tucked under my head

You’d be better off without me honey
You’d be better off without me honey
You’d be better off without me honey
You’d be better off without me
