lyrics

I been bit by dogs.
I been fucked by my best friends.
I been lied to again and again and again,
but by none moreso than I.

So save me from myself.
The child can't make his strangest friend
in the creature at the end of the book
if he's too scared to look.

Save me from myself.
The ceaseless gamble, it's my most glaring tell,
the echo in my wishing well.
Save me from myself.

I am my love. I want to whole again.
There is no cure for who I am.
I am my love and I want to just know again.
I want to be sure that I'm a man

and not a vulture flying overhead
the living buried under the dead.
Just another key I need to find
to another door there is nothing behind.

The taxman takes my dough
and the bosses they take my time and they throw it
into their roulette deals of their half-moon deals,
but none steal more than I.

I am the blood in the stool,
the master's hand on his broken tool.
I am Shakespeare's fool ignored
for knocking on the wrong door.

Save me from myself.
Save me from myself.

Another key I need to find
to a door there is nothing behind.
