I got these thoughts in my head
dirty as fuck and never leaving
and then best left unsaid
all the drinks under breath
got some shit off my chest
put on my back next to the monkey nest
that somebody left
with me the day I was born
I got a hole in my head
the size of lake fuckin' michigan
my pipes lined in lead
got old school reasons to die
all my money's been spent
on a face lift via alochol
this sinner repents
to an empty bathroom reflection
please take these two words
and do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, drove me mad
just your time, just my fucking life
I got a bottle in hand
straight to the ground with all my memories
It's best left unsaid
when they've all been left behind
all my money's been spent
on a DIY lobotomy
this sinner repents
to a lake and bathroom mirror
please take these two words
and do with them what you would like
it's a dream I had, drove me mad
just your time, just my fucking life
so take these two words
and do with them what you would like
it's a dream you had, drove me mad
just your time, just my fucking life
and that's my life
over and over again
just my fucking life
it might seem meaningless to you
but it means everything to me
and I'm fucked without you
please take these words
and do with them what you would like
it's a dream I had, drove me mad
just your time, just my fucking life
and that's my life
over and over again
just my fucking life
