couldn't look in the mirror so I cut off my head
now i look at shit sideways, and I'm not even dead
and i bought me a keychain and a fresh pack of swigs
when you're on your phone... do you see me?
cover it in gold.. oooh baby that's clean
would you fall asleep when you look at me?
wrapped around your eyes like a cinema screen
oh
couldn't look in the mirror, cause i painted it red
now I live in a sylo and I'm covered in bread
and I'm chewin my keychain cause im fresh out of swigs
when you're on your phone... do you see me?
cover it in gold.. oooh baby that's clean
would you fall asleep when you look at me?
wrapped around your eyes - baby, take care of me
well i've been thinking of myself, and I feel guilty
lookin' at my arms like they're part of me
I stole all of your clothes, do I look okay?
got married to the couch and we fuck all day
well, i've been thinkin' lot of nothin' so I do nothing
we drove around the town just to find nothing
I stole all of your clothes and they're prett-i-e
yeah it looks like you, does it look like me?
you're a child of god now, you should act like one
i'm a kid in a corner, and i act like one
you were hit by a car, and you haven't gotten up
you're a corpse in a casket and you look like one
you were grey you were cold, i'd say you act like one
we put you into the ground, and you haven't gotten up
(you were just a child. a child just like me. hit by a blessing - an angel just like the moment you were born in your mother's bed. a bed just like a road, both covered in the red that life and death have given. unable to walk, a child falling over unable to talk. my insides fell out)
