lyrics

I think the mirror fucking hates me
I turn to Lawrence but he’s only down for the count
Through the garden and a daydream
Oh ain’t it beautiful? Oh, ain’t it beautiful

A sullen smile and a handshake
Said a lot about the man that’s in her life
Does he know about the baby?
Oh ain’t he beautiful? Of ain’t he beautiful?

Don’t wake me now, there’s a warm bleeding light
But I refuse to fight, if that man stays alive
GO!

I think the mirror fucking hates me
He’s cynical and critical and everything is difficult
While she dreams he still cheats, I’d like to kill him in his sleep
Of course, it isn’t fun I guess he’s just a putrid one

But don’t wake me now, there’s a warm bleeding light
but I refuse to fight if that bitch stays alive.

I don’t want another lover
Playing in your violent games
Caught asunder from the other
I can’t stay another day
It’s hard to remember through silence and shivers
It’s hard to remember through silence and shivers

Changes your locks
It won’t hurt your stock
That corduroy won’t bring you joy
I’m finished building bridges
Feels like I’m pulling stiches
These soft forgiving glitches
So sick of stupid bitches
Oh don’t you act so coy
I’ll never bring you joy
I’ll never bring you joy
I’ll never bring you joy

I don’t want another lover
Playing in your violent games
Caught asunder from the other
I can’t stay another day right now

I'll never bring you joy
I'll never bring you...
