LYRICS
I thank the Lord
I find my peace in sucking exhaust
Forget the gods I am praying to her
If she’s the one to take me I wouldn’t be opposed but
I thought for sure
That I could endure
Then I woke up so I exchanged the locks
Tried to lose you in limbo but here you are

Wanna be my cellmate?

Wasting away
Your outlook’s an excuse to decay
It’s wrong if I stay even worse if I go
I got tendons made of paper, the wording gets confusing but
I could be wrong
You’re already gone
Finding you drunk nasal deep in your bathtub
You slip into a coma
Drip down the foundations

You’re only what your money pays for
I’ll be whatever keeps me sane (oh)
Just another
Flame to smother
Just another
Wasted summer
You’re only what your money pays for
I’ll be whatever keeps me sane (oh)
Just another
Flame to smother
Just another
Wasted summer

Gauging your interest
Then I’ll smile politely

Did I fuck up? Think I fucked with your head?
Or else did you get caught on what someone else said?
Did I fallow the fields that I should’ve left dead?
Always dressing my wounds right before watershed
Now we’re wasting away
I’m permanently wasting away
My arched back - a steeple
My blood is purée
I’m a stain on my gene pool
I like it that way

Wanna be my cellmate?
I promise I can whittle soap
I’ll make us matching bracelets
Right before I make the keymould

You’re only what your money pays for
I’ll be whatever keeps me sane (oh)
Just another
Flame to smother
Just another
Wasted summer
You’re only what your money pays for
I’ll be whatever keeps me sane (oh)
Just another
Flame to smother
Just another
Wasted summer

You’re only what your money pays for
I’ll be whatever keeps me sane (oh)
Just another
Flame to smother
Just another
Wasted summer
You’re only what your money pays for
I’ll be whatever keeps me sane (oh)
Just another
Flame to smother
Just another
Wasted summer

Oh, and you know what’s funny?
