| You can’t bury your shame underground
|
| There’s no grave for the pain that you’ve felt
|

|
| So keep a bottle on the shelf
|
| And a spot reserved in hell

|
| So I’ll sit and I’ll bleed
|
| Leave me to my fucking habits
|
| And typically
|
| Yeah, the world is something tragic
|
| You better listen to me
|
| 'Cause I swear this time I’ve had it
|
| And now tell me how can we live with ourselves
