What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I should thank you for making me an authority on losing
2
We're both addicts, you can't go a week without boozing
3
And I can't go a week without getting impaled by some black tarpit heart dagger
4
Giver of all battery acid aphrodisiac I inhaled
5
You toss thoughts of me back with hard liquor
6
My appeal now paper thin, it's not hard to figure me out
7
Of the equation and leave me alone with the one who laughs loudest at my jokes
8
And alone with this standoff grudge against the phone
9
Knuckles scuffed down to bone
10
I knew you stopped needing me
11
But I couldn't believe you were leaving
12
I couldn't see the transplant for the bleeding
13
And I didn't think it was a surgery worth repeating
14
If I could make you fall in love with yourself, I'd do it
15
Pull up a lawn chair and watch your species end there
16
In your own tarpit heart
17
I see you're having lunch with corpses
18
Painted question marks sit around your campfire lashes
19
Easing all features to follow your Marco Polo nose
20
All your parts are so easily coerced into any campaign
21
Your face makes a slave out of you
22
Brown hair falling about you like well-conditioned chains
23
You play the role of painting when I'm angry
24
A lost picture that diffuses spite from bruises you left
25
Inanimate but still contaminating every mental sanctuary 'til every art form needs renovating
26
And every self-examination becomes more necessary
27
My grandpa's flannel shirts, the new anti-therapy
28
If I could make you fall in love with yourself, I'd do it
29
Pull up a lawn chair and watch your species end there
30
In your own tarpit heart
31
I think next time I'll leave a darker marker
32
(One that takes at least two shots to wash it down)
33
So you have to sneak into the club when I play your town
34
And I can be sure you're breaking things because I'm not around
35
Preparing the two words (you'll never say) in case I'm found
36
My heart says that it's over
37
My hands are moving on
38
But the songs keep writing themselves
39
It's like my consciousness is fighting my up-righting my health
40
My ears can't hear you coming back
41
My eyes don't want to be involved
42
My tongue will burn like acid
43
'Til the shape of you dissolves.
