Amateur

I've been running rivers
In this hardwood floor
Tongue between the scissors
My uncivil war
And I can taste the blood
Yeah I can taste the blood
You'd love to drink it up
I'm melting in your cup

Burn me up, I'm your half-life cigarette
Take a chance on me like russian roulette
Never let em see you sweat

Now he's going under
Los Angeles drugged him
That kid is gone
You're movin' on
Used up from old lovers
One high to another
Just sing along
He don't got long

Drown in blue
Losing you

I can't call my mother
Killed her when I ran
Alienate my brother
He's the better man
I think they'll probably only remember me
As a burden that couldn't be
Anything more than an amateur
I'm not sure how much longer I can
Hold this down
Make them proud
Right before the lights go out

Now he's going under
Los Angeles drugged him
That kid is gone
He's movin' on
Used up from old lovers
One high to another
Just sing along
He don't got long

Drown in blue
Losing you
Impossible to break through
I'm losing you

God only dies
When the last disciple leaves
Widows keep their husbands
Just as long as they can grieve
And the emperor ain't naked
Unless we all agree
There's nothing on his body
And nothing up his sleeve
