Dresden Dolls - Bad Habit lyrics

[raspberryblu]

And pens and pen-knives take the blame

Crane my neck and scratch my name

But the ugly marks

Are worth the momentary gain

When I jab a sharpened object in

Choirs of angels seem to sing

Hymns of hate in memorandum

And you might say it's self-indulgent

You might say it's self-destructive

But you see it's more productive

Than if I were to be healthy

And sappy songs about sex and cheating

Bland accounts of two lovers meeting

Make me want to give mankind a beating

And as the skin rips off

I cherish the revolting thought

That even if I quit

There's not a chance in hell I'll stop

And anyone can see the signs

Mittens in the summertime

Thank you for your pity,

You are too kind.
