lyrics

You hang
Like a picture frame
In a house that’s up for sale
Paid for
At the ten cent store
You’re cheap decor
And nothing more to me

I don’t wish you ill
Still I can’t wish you well

You stick
You needle prick
Digging deep into my skin
Captain on a ship of shit
Giving me your seasick grin
You scab
You leave me half-deranged
In full contempt
What I can’t change
I can’t accept

I don’t wish you ill
But I don’t wish you well
Can I just wish you
Momentary hell?
I don’t wish you ill
(Maybe faintly infirmed)
I, I just wish you weren’t
I just wish you weren’t

Hanging from a picture frame
Dangling off my wall
Ringing in the dead of night
When I won’t take the call
Clinging on like rain-soaked linen
Sickening, the smell
Bringing me no new beginning
Overwhelming, underpinning

Every conversation
As you grasp at every straw
And suck the life right out of me
Til I’m left limp and raw
You’re turning every party you pervert
Into a prison cell

I don’t wish you ill
But I don’t wish you well
Can I just wish you
Momentary hell?
I don’t wish you ill
(Maybe faintly infirmed)
I, I just wish you weren’t

I don’t wish you ill
(No misery or malady)
I just wish you felt
(A rise in your morality)
I don’t wish you ill
(No terror, trouble, tragedy)
I, I just wish you weren’t
Sometimes I just wish
You weren’t
