Lyrics
Selfportrait
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The sun is avoiding the orbit of your ego
Don't cry, it looks bad on camera
The only solemnity awaiting you is death
And the saddest part is: you know that
You're not hollow, you know
You're just corrosive to the gut
It is no diamond vessel
This cheap glass dams the acrid acid
You the embodiment of sloth
Don't think your brain will compensate
And beyond this stern face lies a softer disgrace
Go on and laugh it all off
Your cheap, black humor parasites
Your youthful rotten soul
Suppose you already know
You're not hollow, you know
You're just corrosive to your gut
It is no diamond vessel
This cheap glass dams the acrid acid
Slowly, but surely, corroding your skin
Pumping in your veins
Game over, friend
Won't you try again?
She won't spill a tear for you, dear
Bask in your irrelevance while you have a chance
She won't spill a tear for you, dear
Bask in your irrelevance while you have a chance
She won't spill a tear for you, dear
Bask in your irrelevance while you have a chance
She won't spill a tear for you, boy
Bask in your irrelevance while you fucking can
