lyrics

She retreated
When I begged and pleaded
So as a lover I retired
To become saint-inspired
And I’m obnoxious
When I’m unconscious
A chauvinist I hope you’ll miss
Your anxious protagonist

And as I scribble nominal scripture
I’m pretty sure I don’t miss her
But I always reconsider

So salutations
To sanitation
Cos dear, that boy will make you itch
You’ll soon return to my fabric
And claim my body
As your laundry
I am clean but coming unstitched
Trying to kick my bleach habit

And as I sip my risky elixir
I mock delusional singers
But nothing paints a picture

I’m being treated
For things I’ve been seeing
And I can’t imagine how that felt
Hanging there from your father’s belt

And as I scribble nominal scripture
I’m fucked up and I miss her
And I’ll never reconsider

(I stayed around there’s nothing left
My beating heart rests in my chest
Of all the lives I hoped to wreck
Yours appeared the safest bet
I wanted for Lorraine to stay
Eternal but the world changed
So meet me underground if they
Tell you that you can’t be saved)
