Fine, you can drop me on the corner there

And leave me be

As if I never spoke a word

Sterility leaking into the way you talk to me

A child might let it be

I said those nasty things just before you could

I tried to stop the fight

Before the chair was thrown

You hadn't finished your cup

But I can't wait around just to watch you burn

So think of repentance and offer me penance now

Who taught you repression taught you to feel pressure and love through your body now

An ancient neuropathy spinning your half-heart into an empty love

Every great thing's gotta be better than

Every great thing's gotta be

Meddling in your soft affairs

My intention was never so pure

Falling down like paper rain

Light as the weight of who you were

You asked me to hit you with my belt

I couldn't obey

Your style's so grotesque

My translucent anger belongs to you

So think of repentance and offer me penance now

Who taught you repression taught you to feel pressure and love through your body now

An ancient neuropathy spinning your half-heart into an empty love

Every great thing's gotta be better than

Every great thing's gotta be
