An Introductory Swan Song Lyrics by Lokeigh

The Better Half

2014

[Verse 1]
I've become acquainted with the maggots in the city
We've got a lot in common and they love my open wounds
I'm at heaven's gate feeling lust and deep self-pity
I promised you I'd wait, but I had to get out soon
Please swear that you won't follow me 'cause third time's the charm
No romantics have no place in the world of self-harm
That's why I feel outta place between my own sheets
Dear God in heaven, you win, accept this defeat
[Chorus]
I'm crying on the floor asking "Where's dad?"
I'm crying on the floor asking for a cigarette
"Did you take your meds?" "Baby don't fret!"
Covered in my blood, asking "Am I pretty yet?"
Covered in my blood, asking "Am I pretty yet?"
Covered in my blood, asking for a cigarette
[Verse 2]
It's a landmark day cause you finally spoke out loud
You didn't breathe a word, you just held me close to you
Like death does: so subtly, so charming and not-proud
Knowing that I'll hurt my loved ones if I go with you
Between anarchists, misogynists, do I care either way?
I know I love your whiskey bottles littering my space
Oh, this tug-of-war between your love and my bleeding skin
Let's pull harder darling, I think we can win
[Chorus]
I'm crying on the floor asking "Where's dad?"
I'm crying on the floor asking for a cigarette
"Did you take your meds?" "Baby don't fret!"
Covered in my blood, asking "Am I pretty yet?"
Covered in my blood, asking "Am I pretty yet?"
Covered in my blood, asking for a cigarette
Covered in my blood, asking you to please forget
