lyrics

Verse 1

I’ve got a big black book with your name at the top
And I’m gonna go right down that list, yeah I just ain’t gonna stop
Until I cross every letter, every line, every dot
Off of every single page…
I’ve got a bone to pick and it’s pointed at you
Yeah I’ma poke a hole for every promise never came true
I found a soft patch of dirt darling, now I’m almost through…

Chorus 1

Now I’ve seen it all, and I couldn’t change a single thing about this, I tried…
And through it all, you still retained a sense of self composure, practical poise, and grace…

Verse 2

I’m the big bad wolf, come to blow down your house
But instead I think I’d rather come and throw down your blouse
You and me could make a mess out of your stepfather’s couch…
Then I’ll just waltz out the front door clutching your heart
I put it all on black in Reno, it’s a hell of a start
I paid my dues, sang some blues, at least I can say I played my part…

Chorus 2

Now I’ve seen it all, and I couldn’t change a single thing about this, I tried…
And through it all, you still retained a sense of self composure, practical poise, and grace…
You sure made sure that every single speck of what once was is no more
And now you’re pure, but I shed my skin and found an anchor tethered to your cold shore…

Outro

I said a little brother wanna talk a lot about a gecko, calling out for sandwiches that got no mayo, a little brother wanna talk a lot about a gecko…
I said a little brother wanna talk a lot about a gecko, calling out for sandwiches that got no mayo, a little brother wanna talk a lot about a gecko…
How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself? How am I not myself?
