Flies
Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
Bathed in perspiration, drowned my enemies
Used my inspiration on a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
And I said, "Hey what you yellin' about?
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction
Hey what you yellin' about?
Sadists' co-addiction, perfect analogies
Hey what you yellin' about?
Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction"
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
Flies
Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenities
I share a cigarette with negativity
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
Flies, flies, flies, flies, flies, flies, flies, flies, flies
Flies Flies Sitting here like uninvited company Wallowing in my own obscenities I share a cigarette with negativity Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes And drawing flies Bathed in perspiration, drowned my enemies Used my inspiration on a guillotine I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes And drawing flies And I said, "Hey what you yellin' about? Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction Hey what you yellin' about? Sadists' co-addiction, perfect analogies Hey what you yellin' about? Conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction" Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes And drawing flies Flies Sitting here like uninvited company Wallowing in my own obscenities I share a cigarette with negativity Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self denial Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes And drawing flies Flies, flies, flies, flies, flies, flies, flies, flies, flies Explain Request ×
