lyrics

i got caught by the firing squad
they were high on pills & you led them all
i couldn't find your number to call
to make reparations
& you led me around downtown
abandoned abrasive

the smell of burning metal coils
autumn sunlight so disloyal
freezing all that's left inside my veins
let's have a talk about intentions
but first i thought that i would mention
hating myself now just ain't the same

they gave my relative a different death
in a high school gym by the cool kid steps
over-under twice works best
if you're really trying
& we left her right where she hung
'cause everyone's dying

the smell of burning metal coils
summer smiles so disloyal
bleeding burning blushing handsomely
let's have a chat about rejection
save ourselves from resurrection
dream a perfect prison fantasy
