lyrics

I was never one to read comic books
the superheroes I could commandeer
associate with in common fear
of father's here, father's gone
father's weird

cosign the loan statements
compiled up in loading bays
one line is known far away
the rest are laid to rest in place
buy less they say
but never save a second to line up their navels
on sea-faring benches
abel murders cain to make room for his angst
and then thanks his mother for giving birth
before jumping from the fertile earth
he lays

Hook:
it's this cold knife
that i plunge into my whole life

clip your dollar off coupon
I'm gonna trottle off
try to throttle my galoshes
stomp and stop
as I soon as I hear the change fall from my pockets
near to reach and pick up something lost its
my job, like I'm peeling off my gauze
the bandages are bandits, run away from their encampments
and scavenge all they can since, nothing seems to
land with me

dreaming like my nightmares are free
and I can write scared
be just another man right there
standing on the corner
waiting for his one true love
if you believe in that
or his whore to come on up
and eat his cash
trash made of white bags
translucent hype tag

I'm bored of this
don't you take me

Hook:
cold knife
plunge into my whole life
