lyrics

i know you've heard it all before
you've seen my blood and guts and gore
i know you wanna look the other way

but that can't be further from the truth
you're longing for your misspent youth
and you know misery loves company

but behind your wasted eyes
i can't hide my surprise
i'm gonna let you down

you'll be mine
(catching looks and catching flies)
we'll all be fine
but i got this itch that i can't stamp out
i'm gonna let you down

i gotta, run run, gotta get away
i'll be back in six months, what the fuck does that say
all i've learned, is it doesn't matter anyway

where is the nuance, where is the shame?
i've wrote a million shitty songs that all sound the same
this soup can life is eating me away

but behind my wasted eyes
i can't help but just cry
oh god it's breaking down

you'll be mine
(fall apart and fall behind)
we'll all be fine
but i've got this itch that i can't stamp out
you're the itch that i can't stamp out

when the cobwebs eat away your eyes
i won't be afraid, i won't be surprised
when all our lustre is lost to time
we'll be catching looks and catching flies

so pack your shit up and come to get me
i'm not afraid motherfucker i'm ready
lock my bones up and bar the door
cause if i can't get back there then i'm not sure that

you'll survive
(cause you're the spider inside my mind)
we'll all be fine

you're the cigarette in your mouth
you gotta put me out
