lyrics

Turn the other cheek till you break my bones
Let those ice blue eyes turn me into stone
Cold morning, warm voices
Opposites no longer attract when all they do is attack

Heed the warnings, make bold choices
There’s no looking back
What’s important remains intact

Who do you lie to but yourself?
Find eternal peace in death
You’re being laughed at, manipulated
And treated like the pig in shit you are

Bend over, take it and don’t let the tears roll down your face
Piece of the pie
You made your bare hands shake
You dilapidated rustic relic
You want to ask “who do you think you are?”
You don’t even know
But that’s only when you’re drunk or in love
You are who you are, better off alone

Roll around tight skinned, semi-human
Laughing stock of the town in which you preside
Just a shell of a man
