It just takes one
One sick ick icky slip n sin
And some. thing. starts.  too two to stick
Blowin away
with the dolls of voodoo (there’s just so much to do)
and their thin pin limbs
(You’re just tryyying to fittt innn)
Deep in where your mind tick tick ticks
Your crawlin
Outta yer skins ta
(Get your fix *****)
Hit that vein and runaway with it
Now all your dreams they start to drip
Dowwwwn
Here it comes now!
You thought you’d get your crown
Now your bending over and down
Everytime that eye comes around
Heads pressed again the wall
You don’t give in you won’t give up
You just stall
(You know it all)
Better cat cat catch your breath
Before the the rest get get get you bled
Before the best gets gets gets you dead
And now you know too much in your head
And your hands are are arrre all red!
Ahhhh!

So you tryyyy to hiiiide it all awayyyyy again
You know you’re soooooo conser va tive
You know you said
You’d nevvver liiiiie to your closest friends
But here you arrrrre aaaagin
hiding in a box looking like a skeleton
Diggin in a bag with your fingertips
Ohhhh don’t get to close or it might stick!
Sterilizing every thought that feels too thick
Might be a drag
After all
You gotta lock to pick
The cuffs on your back
Tearing your wrists to shreds
Can you stretch it long enough to make it last?
You know you don’t have to win just have to make it past the last…
Aren’t you exhausted?
Always on your last gasp
Isn’t this how you got here
You blinked
And it was past
Oh now you miss your innocence?
Haha
