about

Soon to be used in a Hershey's commercial.

lyrics

Whenever whenever you come in my range
I hope you don't notice how much I have changed
Whenever, whenever you look in my eye
You dig in my brain and spot all my lies
And now that I know that you know who I am
And what I can be it makes me ashamed that
If ever if ever I were to get lost
You'd build me a home and I would still stray
But I never see your point until it's digging in me
There's rubber in my bones
As thick as insects in my belly
There seems to be no point in being happy anymore

Trivial things don't mean a thing to the few
You try to treat them better than the way that they treat you
You give up all your hope and live a lowlife all alone
And you keep on a smile as long as you remain stoned
Trivial things don't mean a motherfucking thing
You'll try to make a promise and then seal it with a ring
But little did you know that shit was just a ring of lies
You'll try to make a profit and use it to disguise
I'm sick of everybody being unsensing
It's left me self reliant with no one to envy
There seems to be no point in being happy anymore

La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands
La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands
La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands
La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands
La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands
La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands
La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands
La-la-la-lick the blood off my hands
