Hair (1)
You know I'm pulling out my hair
Running around, life's a long game of truth and dare
And the sooner you die, the quicker you win
But who the hell is gonna be your real best friend?
And
The campaigns, they never end
He campaigns for nothing just so he can win
And I wear my smile like a poorly worn wig
Happiness is my lipstick and I'm a damn pig
So as I hang these skeletons as decorations on the ceiling
You let me die slowly, and it's the first time I had feelings
So these magnets are hanging on the fridge
They say opposites attract but I didn't say nothing
So I'm clinging to this, so cold hearted
Who the hell are you and can you explain this?
Shake me off, hang a blank piece of paper
They look at it in awe but it's just a barrier
Well second-person, first-person, what's the difference?
You, me, you, you, we're both equally nuisance
And you know my hair is falling out
Better than turning gray, my grave is my mouth
And stranded in the forest as I eat myself
I solved life's greatest mystery but I'll never get to tell
You know I'm pulling out my hair
Running around, life's a long game of truth and dare
And the sooner you die, the quicker you win
But who the hell is gonna be your real best friend?
And
The campaigns, they never end
He campaigns for nothing just so he can win
Maps Made of Skin (2)
Well what's the point of finding yourself?
Said it was good for your heart, drove straight south
Well what's the point of finding yourself?
Came across a realization and then just fell
Straight to your death, mumbled your last words
You didn't speak up, stupid, so no one heard
Moved somewhere else to make a map made of skin
Said, "I don't know myself as well as the back of my hand"
And the only time you look at it is when you slap yourself
And sometimes when it hits you hard enough you find good health
You already draw on yourself, you draw with a knife
Figure if you press down hard enough you'll mark it just right
