lyrics

Wake and bake and fake and make it
You're ragged and you're running out
of all the reasons you deserve it,
your only form of relief
I can teach you all the angles
But not the one you need to know
Wind yourself up and push harder
Out of breath on a dead-end road

The day you decide that your life
is a ball-and-chain
Is the day you find
that there is no shelf life
to your pain

I couldn't make it up even if I tried
The clearest truth is in the smallest lie
Oh the clearest truth is in the heavy sigh

Hate and rage and flagellation
Before you greet the morning dew
Ball of shame, two cups of coffee
Cream and sugar too
I bore myself with my angst and disaster
Take up so much space that
Time is elastic!
And with so much weight,
my moods are spastic

And you don't know what to do
with your white lies - you paint with them
You carry them with you
and call them out of the blue
You toss them into the drawer
of your renovated kitchen
Caress them in your lonely bedroom

"Oh hello, how do you do?"
"I would love to" (2x)

"Oh hello, how does it feel?"
"I would love to" (2x)

Oh hello, how do you do?
I would love to fight you...
Oh hello, how do you do?
I would love to destroy you...

Oh hello, how does it feel?
I would love to ignore you
Oh hello, how does it feel?
I would love to ignite you
