lyrics

Can't get no god damn worse off anyhow
You sit there staring through your glass (Hey man!)
While I'm talking to you!
So sick and tired of your selfish act
I tried to save your skin but you still lost the nerve

You're not even good enough for me to pity
You ain't ever gonna catch me crying
Death comes to those who call and you sing just like a bird
Time fights against your bitter taste
Your body will feed the worms

You drink, you smoke, you pop, you fry your brain
I really don't care what you do or say, keep wasting away
So this is our new deal no sympathy
I tried to save your neck but you still took the axe

You are worthless now a loser fading fast
Would you just die for me, is that too much to ask?
Death comes to those who call and you sing just like a bird
Time fights against your bitter taste
Your body will feed...

I asked you a question, it's still echoing
Feel the answer emerge, emergency
You're a pest a god damned possibility
Feel the answer emerge, emergency

Wet fingers on the stove you can't smell the smoke
Coat open in the snow you can't feel the cold
Lighting in a bottle drink it down
Eyes closed mind froze, turn yourself around
Remember how to live don't decide to die
If nothing more pound down the door
The memories rush out through your pores
C'mon, c'mon, come on and tell me...

You pathetically perfect failure of a man
Do you hear what I say? Do you give a damn?
Death comes to those who call and you sing just like a bird
Time fights against your bitter taste
Buried deep beneath the waste
Your body will feed the worms
