lyrics

Leave me alone, your presence feels like a disease
Couldn't be so alone that I would need your company
I'm not at home, when it's you ringing the doorbell
Try again the lowest floor, with any luck it will be hell

Your big talk-tongue is flimsy, it's a red flag
I'd like to toss and burn
Let the ashes rain down right on your parade

Don't get me wrong
It's not your lips that I am reading
I'm just sorry for the oxygen lost when you speak
No we can't become anything close to being friends
Sorry...no I'm not, despising you makes too much sense

Your big talk-tongue is flimsy, it's a red flag
I'd like to toss and burn
To stop its sway, let the ashes rain
Let the ashes rain down right on your parade

If you were a landscape you'd be a desert
Look what's lying around
Piles of bones that once were your ancestors
The way out has never been found
Obviously they were brothers and sisters
Don't let that keep you from being proud
And slip out in the shit you call identity
You're the greatest for me

Your the greatest enemy
Greatest shit I've ever seen

Leave me alone, your presence feels like a disease
Ouldn't be so alone that I would need your company
I'm not at home, when it's you ringing the doorbell
Try again the lowest floor, with any luck it will be hell

Your big talk-tongue is flimsy, it's a red flag
I'd like to toss and burn
To stop its sway, let the ashes rain
Let the ashes rain down right on your parade
