lyrics
If it’s fine by you I’ll leave now
And I’ll try not to be back until December
And if it’s hard to keep your sleeves down
Then refrain from fucking any other adolescent members
Of your entourage, that’s all I was
Take liberties and pills
You’re a half-remembered memory on folded dollar bills
And though the winter’s come and gone
You’ll press rewind but you’ll be wrong
For fast-forward works much better
When you can’t even read the letters that I send
Love and leave me, hold me down
Grab and grieve me, cut me now
Lover, don’t even bother with the pleasantries
Honey, tuck me into bed
Honey, fuck me ‘till I’m dead
Lover, won’t you ignore all of my felonies?
She said, “Shalala…”
If it’s I that you relieve now
Then I’m sorry, girl, you shouldn’t come much closer
See, I can’t but disbelieve how
There’s a story written underneath your pornographic posters
It’s a dope mirage that elevated me into your room
You’re a half remembered piece of shit discarded much too soon
Among the “has-been”s, and the “been-there”s, where the faceless and the rich
Sit with misremembered, apathetic, sickly children hitched upon your,
Your “love and leave me, hold me down
Grab and grieve me, cut me now”
Lover, don’t even bother with the pleasantries
Honey, tuck me into bed
Honey, fuck me ‘till I’m dead
Lover, won’t you ignore all of my felonies?
She said, “Shalala…”
Yes, it’s fine boy you should leave now,
But just don’t expect that I will leave with you
See, there’s a line that must be held down,
Separating what you know,
From what I once thought that you knew
About the functioning of dialogue held over broken mugs
And the ignorance of sentiment conveyed by means of shrugs
Oh how they pacify your soul, these empty ballads without words,
So fuck your “I love you”s and your “Shalalas”
And fuck what you heard
When all you heard was
”Love and leave me, hold me down
Grab and grieve me, cut me now”
Lover, don’t even bother with the pleasantries
Honey, tuck me into bed
Honey, fuck me ‘till I’m dead
Lover, won’t you ignore all of my felonies?
She said, “Shalala…”
