I've become acquainted with the maggots in the city
We've got a lot in common and they love my open wounds
I'm at heaven's gate feeling lust and deep self-pity
I promised you I'd wait, but I had to get out soon
Please swear that you won't follow me cause third time's the charm
No romantics have no place in the world of self-harm
That's why I feel outta place between my own sheets
Dear God in heaven, you win, accept this defeat
I'm crying on the floor asking "Where's dad?"
I'm crying on the floor asking for a cigarette
"Did you take your meds?" "Baby don't fret!"
Covered in my blood, asking "Am I pretty yet?"
Covered in my blood, asking "Am I pretty yet?"
Covered in my blood, asking for a cigarette
It's a landmark day cause you finally spoke out loud
You didn't breathe a word, you just held me close to you
Like death does: so subtlety, so charming and not-proud
Knowing that I'll hurt my loved ones if I go with you
Between Anarchists, Misogynists, do I care either way?
I know I love your whiskey bottles littering my space
Oh, this tug-of-war between your love and my bleeding skin
Let's pull harder darling, I think we can win.
I'm crying on the floor asking "Where's dad?"
I'm crying on the floor asking for a cigarette
"Did you take your meds?" "Baby don't fret!"
Covered in my blood, asking "Am I pretty yet?"
Covered in my blood, asking "Am I pretty yet?"
Covered in my blood, asking for a cigarette
Covered in my blood, asking you to please forget.
