Sponge Lyrics by King Nun

Hung Around 7"

2017

[Verse 1]
I test myself, and wind up testing you
I'm sure you hate how I test you like I do
Drop me down so I can stand on my own like a sponge
Standing there soaking up every passing word

[Chorus]
Did they really sell you away?
Dressed in black, oh, bleeding out by the tracks
Did they really sell you away?
Your brother had a much kinder mother
Did they really sell you away?
Did they really sell you away?

[Verse 2]
Express myself, whatever else
The time has come to pay for what I have made
A kind of shrine in the bathtub, it's melting away
Acid in the drain will melt them ugly stains

[Chorus]
Did they really sell you away?
Explore your bones with X-Rays
Did they really sell you away?
Your brother had a much kinder mother
Did they really sell you away?
Did they really sell you away?

[Bridge]
All the words left in the world
Aren't enough anymore
Just keep in mind the need to be
Full of everything
Will slowly blind your peace of mind
Till it melts all away

[Chorus]
Did they really sell you away?
Explore your bones with X-Rays
Did they really sell you away?
Your brother had a much kinder mother
Did they really sell you away?
Did they really sell you away?
