Lyrics
I’m leaving on a bad note
I’m feeling much too cut-throat
Running away to save face
Sanity fails in this state
The wound in my side will heal fast
The sting of your absent mind lasts
All of my work has been spoiled
Your loving just makes my blood boil
Now
I’ve been patient
For a while
Resisted clinching
Your exile
But all that did
Was delay
My implosion
Your judgement day
Words were never a strength of yours
But the new you pretends
That you’ve got priorities
Like that of a real friend
It’s laughable to say the least
But what makes matters worse
I wanted to buy your claims of love
When I knew their real worth
I’m leaving on a bad note
I’m feeling much too cut-throat
Running away to save face
Sanity fails in this state
The wound in my side will heal fast
The sting of your absent mind lasts
All of my work has been spoiled
Your loving just makes my blood boil
Now
Look at you
For all this time
You’ve held onto
That paradigm
Set by those who
Would also like to feel
Their regurgitations
Make them real
I always reach the same conclusion
When it comes to you
This is all a temporary
Placeholder for truth
And every time I leave you, bleeding
The loathing integrates
And I imagine all the stand-ins
Who could take your place
You possess a special power
The one to break my heart
You do it often, without notice
Without intent to part
This has been a long time coming
Our bond is growing weak
And I’ve learned well to never offer
The redemption that you seek
I’m leaving on a bad note
I’m feeling much too cut-throat
Running away to save face
Sanity fails in this state
The wound in my side will heal fast
The sting of your absent mind lasts
All of my work has been spoiled
Your loving just makes my blood boil
I tried to need you
It didn’t work
You are nothing to me
So why does it hurt?
Did I hurt your feelings?
Fucking good
This turned out exactly how I thought it would
Took me well past Armstrong’s line
Death by altitude
But I would gladly boil alive
To be rid of you
