lyrics

My gums itch, I bare my teeth, and bite my tongue. my heart is empty but my lungs are full.
I want to scream and burn that bridge, how can anyone be so fucking rich.
You stand in the way of everything I hold dear, like a blind baby in a womb made of money.
I want nothing more than to prove you wrong, because you haven't lived.

Have you bled, have you cried, have you loved, have you died,
Have you watched your friends slip away, to drugs and debts and minimum wage.
I hate it all, this cruel joke, you are the set up and we're the punchline.
I want to see it all go up in smoke, but burning it to the ground won't even hurt
Cause unlike me its insured.

my ruined teeth cage my angry tongue, I can't afford the fillings they won't stop me for long
I'm wearing on my last nerve, cause the rest are taken up. with old wounds, and constant hurt or as you'd call em pre-existing conditions. If I kill you I go to jail, if you kill me all we've got to do is wait a while.
I want nothing more than to see you jailed. Drawn and quartered, hung and nailed.

Have you bled, have you cried, have you loved, have you died,
Have you watched your friends slip away, to drugs and debts and minimum wage.
I hate it all, this cruel joke, you are the set up and we're the punchline.
I want to see it all go up in smoke, but burning it to the ground won't even hurt
Cause unlike me its insured.
