lyrics

It's been too damn long
since I caught a look at sunshine leaking into my home
searching like a crazy person for a hole I could plug
before I know it I was pumped up and covered in dust
I'm allergic to excitement when its not in my head
to any reason or impetus to get out of the bed
I'm super nervous it occurs to me I'm turning into something
that considers getting ridiculed as similar to loving
I try to convince myself
I deserve something slightly better than hell
and I cry until I hear the disembodied voice of god

I know what you want
but you cant have it
I know what you want
but you wont get it
I know what you want
but you cant have it
I know what you want

It's not long enough
before I notice something sticky dripping onto my rug
I had to take a little taste just to know what it was
next thing I know I'm feral and addicted to blood
I been avoiding the outside world for so long
that the sweetness caught me by surprise, I'd nearly forgot
I'm super nervous its a certainty I'm turning into someone
who is searching for the spotlight at the center of a circus
I try to remind myself
getting out of bed is a detriment to my health
still I rise if just to spite the condescending voice of god

I know what you want
but you cant have it
I know what you want
but you wont get it
I know what you want
but you cant have it
I know what you want
but it don't exist
