lyrics

i'm like the cricket that the cat caught
why'd he have to break it up when he came?
i think the damage is severe enough
i should beg you to sink your teeth into my brain
but i won’t cause i want you to stay

i shouldn't be the one crying
or starving in the morning watching you
been doing shots in your mother's kitchen
and i'll talk until her face turns blue

been reaching for the hand i'm trying not to hold

before you go
i have to know
what i did wrong and why'd it take so long?

mommy i want her
daddy i need her to stay
she's got those tired eyes like chainsaws
at least chainsaws move faster than decay
so cut me down

to each corpse on the park bench
in the sprawl next to windsong street, watching me
love is an empty museum
I keep humming beneath the umbrella tree, okay

I'm just trying it out
still reaching for the hand I'm trying not to hold
I picture us together in a car crash mutual death is the ultimate form of intimacy

before you go
i have to know
what i did wrong and why'd it take so long?
before you go
i have to know
i have to know
i have to know
i have to know
