lyrics

I killed off my libido
By fucking it too hard.
I haven't had much to cling to
But I've had time to fall apart.

And I tore out my reflection.
It seemed broken from the start
But mama told me not to worry.
She said I'd have to clean the shards.

Whatever it was, well, it's not anymore.
I spent years in repentance, kissing the floor
And I sang glory, glory. Jacob held high
Ripped the camel out the needle's eye
Then I asked a few questions, wouldn't take the advice.
Hoped to learn and lessen, but I know I didn't.

I sold off my importance
With a pile of thick, black tar
And I wondered what to forfeit
To make my family disregard

The mound of introspection
That's seemed to plague me from the start.
Someone told me not to worry.
Someone said I'm what I'm not.

Whatever it was, well, it's not anymore.
I spent years in repentance, kissing the floor
And I sang glory, glory. Jacob held high
Ripped the camel out the needle's eye
Then I asked a few questions, wouldn't take the advice.
Hoped to learn and lessen, but I know I didn't.
I burnt a trench full of maggots alive
Then I butchered my brain, the thorn in my side
And I left with a whisper: "I hate paradise".
Hoped to learn and lessen, but I know I didn't

Then I killed off my libido
By fucking it too hard.
I always said I'd make a breakthrough.
Never said I'd fall apart.
Never said I'd fall apart.
Never said I'd fall apart.

I drained out my blood and begged for more,
But I'm still alive, so that's just a metaphor.
Raised my wrist for none to see.
Well, I never claimed stability.
