Pink Book 03:45
The words in your mouth don't ever get out They're knives in your torso You bleed to death and deflate Your body is scarless Your skin is colorless If you only knew you survive at the cost of living My lips are gone from all the times I bit them And my heart stopped pumping way before I dropped dead So don't let the six feet pilled on your head Keep you from digging your body out of bed, don't let it Your life is your love so let out the feeling See who's for good and who's good for the killing My lips are gone from all the times I bit them And my heart stopped pumping way before I dropped dead The words in your mouth don't ever get out They're knives in your torso You bleed to death Your pink book is burning a hole in your pocket

I can't see you getting old Don't let hubby buy your soul You'll pour your tears in his lovin' cup then won't have a one to shed when he doesn't fill yours up And one of these days you'll get caught in a cage and you'll try to forget the moment I told you that this mistake will be your Face Your problems on your own My head is about to blow I'm melting down, I'm melting down. Memories of when you were innocent are oozing out of my pores I'm not saying you can't be his, but why can't I still be yours? How does it feel to get so good at using that middle finger on your big brother? I wanna know if your heart even twitches when I ask you How does it feel? How does it feel to fly so high the wind won't let you come down

Do you formulate Your words to say What will equate? Your x and y's Your broken science See you die All that we see Is alchemy Riddled with hopes for chemistry I'll bring down my staff And break your math To raise the path Earth's the tank they put you in to make sure that you can not win They catch you right when you begin then gouge your eyes, cut off your fins Stick the needle in your skin 'cause that's what puts the ideas in They take the power from honest men and give it to the evil twins They tell you that the world you're in is better than it's ever been But somewhere there's a man with fins and eyes and ears and healthy skin Who knows that there's a problem when our lungs can't fill with oxygen Without taking the evil in and turning our blood black with sin

Lacking of substance innately there Pulled across oceans to go nowhere Sin builds the distance we've held between Three planets parted by outer space Drawn to the teachings of a painted face Hunger, the state of modern minds Deaf, but given ears with time to find Dumb losing sleep so they can hear the blind Detail the plans for a greater fall See how the giant chooses to be small Lightning horses Unheard voices Untouched places Unnamed, faceless
