There’s a beast beneath the dust
Anger, unrequited lust,
Has its fill but its never enough
Tickled pink, black and blue, seeing red because of you
Tickled pink, black and blue, seeing red because of you
Count your regrets
I’m hedging all my bets, running off a cliff
“Despair, it never ends.”
Tying bricks to my feet to throw myself in the sea
“I’m in over my head.”
This is what it cost, equal to what you lost
What really hurt the most?
“Fuck it, on with the show!”
This is my magnum opus, these are the crown jewels
This is my swan song, this is the fucking blues
Count your regrets
I’m hedging all my bets, running off a cliff
“Despair, it never ends.”
Tying bricks to my feet to throw myself in the sea
“I’m in over my head”
Got no pep in my step
Lacking pride in my stride
Brand new rope on my neck and bloodshot eyes
