When I said you had to cope
What I really meant
Was what you needed
Was to bottle deeper and deeper still
CLOSE THE LID AND SWALLOW YOUR PAIN
Why couldn't you be like me?

You were so good at hiding pain
And smiling on
But there was one better
You believed every lie I told
About stability and sobriety
You thought I carried answers with me

I pushed you further
Down that road
Than I'd ever been before
And I mocked and I goaded
When you got worn down
Asked you why you always were so sore

And as you grew in faith and esteem
You thought you were becoming
More like me
But with you I didn't have to
Give up the highs I loved

I found them in you
I knew one day I would wreck us both
And I held that truth so tight to me
It took me higher than I'd ever been before

I got my fix and it was worth
every fucking moment with you
Don't say I didn't worn ya
The very first time I met ya
Don't say it wouldn't come true

I MADE IT FUCKING COME TRUE
I made it fucking come true
I made every word of it true
I promised to tear you down
I sure fucking hope I did
And any strength you gleaned
Was only an accident
A byproduct of a bigger plan
That would kill you and me
Emotionally destabilize to futility
Cripple every hope and dream
And I'd take myself down 10
Just to bring you down 3
And i'd consider that a win
Don't you see
Never about you
Coulda been anyone
I had a thirst to fulfill
A lust for blood
Don't ever question me again
When I say I'll destroy
I'LL DO IT

1
2
3
And it ain't about you
Never meant hurt you
Believe it or not
Just had to hurt someone
Give it a thought
Had to explode
At the seams
And it seems
I needed help to do it
So I took you in
And offered productivity
In the name of a God
Liberal Rationalism
And Progressive thought
Just a couple words that I used
To get myself REAL high
and bring myself down
To the only place I ever knew

The only home that I ever understood
Falling down the pit of self
Thank you

It's water for the soul
But it's cocaine for the flesh
AND I THANK YOU

It's water for the soul
But it's cocaine for the flesh
AND I THANK YOU

Thanks for the time bitch
