[Intro] [Verse 1] The light from the screen cuts the room like a blade Three in the afternoon hidden in shade Black curtains zipped till the world goes away Safe from the sun and the heat of the day (Safe from the day) I hear your boots as you're crossin' the floor Counting the steps till you stop at my door [Verse 2] Let’s lay out the ledger and check on the cost Count up the pints so that nothing is lost One keeps the monitor running and bright Two buys a look in the middle of the night (Middle of the night) Flinch at the fang and out goes your time Pay up the tax or fall out of line [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Saturday comes like a loop on a tape Stuck on the couch with no way to escape You watch the screen while the white trash goes by Wince at the lines with a tear in your eye (Tear in your eye) No crack in the armor or sign that I care Cuz I'm not your fuckin' sister, that's for sure [Verse 4] The hunger comes down like a punch in the chest The sharp teeth come out and take care of the rest My palm is right there on the side of your face The blood warms me up till I start to confess (Start to confess) The fake stuff is gone and the armor falls flat The chemical honesty takes care of that You taste like the fruit from a market I stole A heavy sweet rush taking over my soul I’m sorry for being such a bitch today The last thing I want is to drive you away [Bridge] You were so brave to let a monster inside To stay in the cage where the numbers have died Give me three minutes to rest on your arm Holding your hand till I forget my name (Forget my name) The skin is too hot and the pretense is thin Forgetting the reasons I locked you within [Instrumental Break] [Verse 5] The timer goes off and the three minutes end I drop your arm fast and I start to pretend Your taste was just mid, way too salty this time Move your stupid ass so I can get online (Get online) Turn up the game till the noise fills the space You are just a blood-bag that I could replace [Outro]
