Lyrics:
I can see the mystery of you and me
Will never quite add up
No one is your perfect fit
I do not believe in that shit
Don't you know that every bubble bursts?
Kill me

I'm aware, you can't repair a light bulb
Once you're gone
For history is not a phase
A donut glaze will rot your teeth
And leave you crazed
Time to drag your dead heels in the dirt

It just might hurt
It just might hurt
You've seen the ???
The wait now is over
You're stuck in the mud

I was made to mock charades
To call spades spades
When will it level off?
Such a buzzkill, yes I am
I kill momentum when I can
There's no parade
I cannot rain on with my poison eyes
Kill me

Lurking in the shadow of the good life
What's real for you is real pretend
Play the turtle to the hare
And soon enough it's everywhere
Get it over with and just confirm

It just might hurt
It just might hurt
You've seen the axe you grind
Come in the flood
The wait now is over
You're stuck in the mud
