When the car pulled around the corner, I lay face down in the snow
Eating my burning tears, letting my fear grow.
The headlights stung my eyes and my hair was way too long
Dark in the freezing white, everything was wrong.

Hand in the back of my hair, you dragged me up to the curb,
Told me to open my mouth, and gave me what I deserved.
As all my memories sprayed all over the concrete
I thank my lucky stars that you haven't shot me!

It never stays in! After I finally swallowed it all!
It just comes right back up! We're so ******* small!
Justice will swallow everything!
And everyone!
If I have anything to say about it!

My head devoured all of my friends, but it's okay
I may never come back, but at least I'm never away.
My wrists will always be slit, figuratively
But in the end I will have no enemies.

It's so strange the way we can't just get past this
It seems there will always be tears in our last kiss
Everyone wants to go back to the way that it started
Before the swollen eyes and the truth, departed.

It never stays in! After I finally swallowed it all!
It just comes right back up! We're so ******* small!
Justice will swallow everything!
And everyone!
If I have anything to say about it!

Everyone wants to go back to the way that it started
Before the swollen eyes and the truth, departed!
