lyrics

Centipedes got way too many legs
But if they eat the roaches, I will keep them as my pets
Made for no particular task
That’s why possums can eat trash
Ugly animals adapt
I bet rats know some good jokes

I’ve got the cure for passion:
Make hobbies out of habits
Words are shaped just like atoms
And when you split them...

Don’t be scared, I don’t mind
He gets like this all the time
He gets drunk and calls me names and I just hum
I feel ugly all inside, scurrying around
I’m gonna drown it like a rat

Some people love their insomnia
Walking alone at night, the last pulse in the city’s veins
But to my lizard brain
That’s just a sappy way to get mugged
So it’s the path of least resistance
Until my family tree looks like a circuit board

Words are shaped just like atoms:
Contexts orbit in patterns
The meaning of the matter
And when you split them...

I don’t mind the shit line on shrimp
‘Cause I’m on some Katy Perry shit
Sharks are just big fucking fish
I’m the killing machine, if anyone is

And I’ve done things that I’m ashamed of
But I’m trying to make amends
Not so I can get a fresh start
So I can live for revenge
And my body is a temple
And I lit a bag of dog shit on the front porch
I’m gonna bleach my insides
I’m gonna be a cyborg

Sharks are just big fucking fish
I’m the killing machine, if anyone is
