lyrics

there was a string that tied us together
the tension tight as we pushed away, so
i sharpened my razors i licked my teeth
i shed my skin and i braced myself, but
in the end i will always step back
i never wanted to cut it
or tie another string
i don't trust anyone else
you don't know what i'd do for you
and you'll never know

i'm an avenue you'll never cross
i'm wanting different things
i'm just an insane weirdo
you're insanely weird though
i'll miss you more
every time i sing this song
but you cannot hurt me
you cannot hurt me anymore
you will never hurt or see me again

a thousand blows and i'll take
every one of them right now
but you will never hurt me again
so the string that tied us
is severed and the arteries
are bleeding out and ripped to shreds

and i'll try to forget you
someday i'll try to remember
but hopefully i won't forget
why i fled i needed love
i needed something
you've always had it in abundance
but never from the ones you wanted
you're spoiled rotten

never from the ones with power
and bitterly, i pontificate
someday i'll be like them
and you will still have nothing
fucked up and alone, you'll regret it
i'll make sure you regret it

bitterly, i pontificate
someday i'll be just like them
you always said don't forget about me
well you should have thought of that
before you forgot me
