about

We start on a self-destructive note. Don't worry. It gets better.
I think this is a place many people have been.

lyrics

Let's get fucked up
on so much shit
that we won't know
a pun from wit.
Drink or be drunk,
lose or be lost.
Am I a service
or the cost?
And do I have a prayer worth praying?

Buy all the liquor
we can afford;
scrape out my insides
like a gourd.
Don't take my keys
or call a cab;
don't want to live
to see my tab—
cause I don't have a debt worth paying.

What do you mean, I'm repressing it?
I spent two verses confessing it.
How much do I have to shout of it?
My head's had my heart ripped out of it.
So bad did she bruise and batter me
I don't know my own anatomy.

I'm giving up
on triple rhyme.
Pour me a cup
of liquid grime.
Bring me a bandage
and my bail;
bring her a feather
and a scale,
and see if I have a heart worth weighing.
