lyrics

scrape off the feeling
'cuz you wanna feel it
it's too easy to get numb and confused
the word "love" is meaningless
when you're vain and vacant
you probably shouldn't use it
you know nothing of it

I'll tie those words around your neck
it's all bullshit, it's all bullshit
not quite enough to cut off your oxygen
but let's pretend
I'll bleed that tongue of it's poison
it's all bullshit, it's all bullshit
I should carve your middle name out
'cuz that's what this is

you're such a cunning wolf
I found your teeth sunk in my guts
but the truth is I was playing dead
just so I could fatten you up
you leaned in with your nails gripping the sand
slurred devotion holding out an empty hand
barely conscious from all the bourbon I drank
I should've ripped your fucking throat out on that riverbank
and turned that mother fucker red

burn that Sunday trail as you see fit
it's all bullshit
talking out of both sides and I'm in the left
it's all bullshit, it's all bullshit
our bodies tangled tight on rooftops
beckon sunsets, it's all bullshit
making plans while still restraining hands
it's all bullshit, it's all bullshit
from bar room stalls to waterfalls
it's all bullshit, it's all bullshit
travel three thousand miles or back ten years
it's all bullshit, it's all bullshit

your heart's not open like your legs
so let's be real
we fucked in the back of my car
'cuz I'm lonely and you need attention
