Icarus The Owl – Black Fish lyrics

[Chorus]
If you only knew what I thought of you
Slurring and stumbling you total buffoon
When left to your device, you'd never make it out alive
Broken promises and trashed hotel rooms
Always up till dawn clenching fists with a bottle of booze

[Verse 1]
I want to rip the voice out of your throat
And send it echoing on down a cliff
‘cause the words you say are useless
I want you out on your own
You'll never change your ways
Some cats were meant to be strays
Oedipus, mother's man, remove your eyes; never see me again

[Chorus]
If you only knew what I thought of you
Slurring and stumbling you total buffoon
When left to your device, you'd never make it out alive
Broken promises and trashed hotel rooms
Always up till dawn clenching fists with a bottle of booze

[Verse 2]
Small talk with those supposed to be close
True colors are something that I'll never show, will never show
Something that I'll never show, will never show
You don't deserve a window to my soul
You don't deserve my picture in your home (In your home)

[Chorus]
If you only knew what I thought of you
Slurring and stumbling you total buffoon
When left to your device, you'd never make it out alive
Broken promises and trashed hotel rooms
Always up till dawn clenching fists with a bottle of booze

[Bridge](x2)
Remember the time you struck her?
I held you down on the tile floor
Flying from all directions;
Things that you have thrown at him for her

[Chorus]
If you only knew what I thought of you
Slurring and stumbling you total buffoon
When left to your device, you'd never make it out alive
Broken promises and trashed hotel rooms
Always up till dawn clenching fists with a bottle of booze

[Outro]
I wonder if you'll see me
When you're released from the cell you're in
Find a place where love begins;
Back when we were only kids
Can you function a single night
When the bottle, has all gone dry?
Find a place where love begins;
Back when we were only kids
