Actor Lyrics by Northbound

Death Of A Slug

2015

Am I getting better?
Am I just getting better at acting?
I think you've got me figured out
With your tongue inside my mouth
I'm an asshole

Am I feeling better?
Am I just getting better at drinking?
And kissing every girl I meet
In hopes to build my self-esteem
I'm a taker

Well, it's not the right time
And it's not a good idea
Well, maybe I'm pretty biased
But that doesn't seem fair to me

But I lust after her and she's in love with me
Well, this is fucking out of control, man, seriously
Do you really think you'll be better off alone?
Yeah, you're the one to talk, never knowing what you want
And it just takes a toll on my heart, girl, honestly
For just this once, could you be straight up with me?

And if you knew me half as well as you think you do
I wouldn't waste all my time convincing you:
"I'm not who you think I am."
I probably don't give a damn about your band, man
I just hope you understand
That I'm rotten to the core
I'm a selfish attention whore
Don't expect optimism
I left it at the door

And there's a thousand nights like tonight
You look me in the eyes
It eats away at me
I'm running out of air to breathe
And you, you're pretty good for me
I'm all that you want and need
But I won't kiss you unless someone else is ignoring me
It's fucked up
