i am selfish
and you are moving across the country
to get married
and i will miss it with the goats in the yard
and your feet in the couch
and your thumb in my mouth
saying "you better learn from me
dip your toes not your feet
or the world will come after you, the way it did to me"
im sorry, it already did
and i shouldve listen and visited
but there is a home in california
you better go
its waiting for ya
and we are condemned and i am alone
this body is wrong
my hands are cold
and i found god in your inflatable mattress
and he told me that im worthless
i am worthless
so i started dancing across the country
and i spent all my money
and i will miss it when i stepped on your toes
with your hand on my shoulder
when we learned to west coast
im sorry
i did it again
and i shouldve listened
and visited
but there is a home in california
you better go
its waiting for ya
and you were 11 when i was born
and now you're 29
and i live at home
and there is a reason for all of this shame
we were cut from the same claw
we share the same name
and you were 11
when i was born
and now you're 29
and i live at home

for once i met someone that i did not know
and "god" was real
cause i just met jobe
and then we turned right back into ghosts
and now its time to feast on just skin and bone
we sit and eat
and then we go home
and then we turn right back into ghosts
SO PLEASE JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
I DONT WANT YOU SEEING
MY BODY WHEN ITS WET
MY BODY WHEN ITS BLEEDING
YOU SAID WE'RE ALL JUST BIG BALLS OF GUM
SO PUT ME IN YOUR MOUTH
AND PULL ME WITH YOUR THUMB
I GAVE MY GOODNESS UP TO GOD WHEN I WAS 8
I LAID IN BED AT NIGHT AND I PRAYED IT ALL AWAY
and i just wouldnt care if i made you cry
im glad that im sick
cause all good things die
no work and no play and no fucking goodnight
you walk me to the train you dont say a word
and i get home safe but you dont say a word
no love in these mouths and no fucking goodnight
SO PLEASE JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
I DONT WANT YOU SEEING
MY BODY WHEN ITS WET
MY BODY WHEN ITS BLEEDING
YOU SAID WE'RE ALL JUST BIG BALLS OF GUM
SO PUT ME IN YOUR MOUTH
AND PULL ME WITH YOUR THUMB
I GAVE MY GOODNESS UP TO GOD WHEN I WAS 8
I LAID IN BED AT NIGHT AND I PRAYED IT ALL AWAY
so please just close your eyes
i dont want you seeing
so please just close your eyes
