By My Own Hand

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.

Can you cut that tendon at the back of my hip

I can't run away, my bones congeal

The stakes are simple, shit and bile

But you just don't get it (No you just don't get it)

You must hook up with me for a year round summer

'Cos when the cold comes, you stay and sit number

But I'm sure ice would melt in your glove

And you just don't get it (No you just don't get it)

And it just can't hurt any worse than before

Strike a match and bolt the door

You get nothing back 'cos you're gonna go down

By my own hand (By my own hand)

By my own hand (By my own hand) Yeh

So I'm one bad gig out of the Jason recliner

One bad song and I'm back at the diner

Yeh, eating your scraps, cleanin' your crap

But you just don't get it (You want chips with that?)

I hate your ambition, hell I even hate mine

Makes me holograms and little things and water out of wine

But you won, yeh hon, well fuck it I'm done

And I just don't get it (No you just don't get it)

And it just can't hurt any worse than before

You get it now, I was nothing more

You get nothing more, you're gonna go down

By my own hand (By my own hand)

By my own hand (By my own hand)

Pills for pills sake (pills for pills sake)

Liquor for God sake (liquor for God sake)

Your tryin' to fix a shark wound

With a cotton ball, Yeh

My own hand (By my own hand)

My own hand (By my own hand)

So get me to the airport and throw me on a plane

Do the sentimental tango and send me off again

I'll bounce right back 'cos I'm gonna go down

By my own hand (By my own hand)

By my own hand (By my own hand) Yeh

Bring on the new sound
