My hands cripple
My neck has a tick

They're heavy as brick
The name's on the edge
Some days it slips

As I wash it down with my spit

Pretend (I tell myself)
I couldn't be him
Pretend for once (I tell myself)
That the world is good

All the time is spent in my head
When I preach there's pains
crooked from the mess you left
Everything you ever said
Means what now that you're dead
& when they come and they go
Ill have no pieces of me left
