Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel me a home to crawl inside of you
And lay this this heart unsure
And I'm sick of your sores, ye-eah
But I'll always stay sitting, Well I'll go...
And I'm your, yea-ea-eah
And I'm your whore

Please leave me a taste
The fire, pleasure from my concern
But I'm a little late
And I'm sick of your quirks, ye-eah
Because I'll always be my own, I

I deserve a..
A lollipop whore, yeah, lollipop whore

A whore!
(Haha, Oh yeah, Ahhh!!)
You're all I wanted
You'll always be true to me...

You're all I've ever wanted
Run, days of more
But I can complete it, yea-ea-oh
I could come down
Yeah well what if I would spare?
Could circles count down?
But I could complete it, yeah-ea-oh
I could come down

She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence is leading to injuries and sores
So what could you do?

She screamed love is such a strong word
I said what if we took a word, deciphered the innocence
And well, um, fucked...
Say what could you do?

She screamed more, loud, give me some more, yeah
The terrible silence that lead us to those injuries and sores
Say what I would do for you...

And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself, even now
What if we take away?
What if I take away?
Me and my whore
I scare myself

But I'm not ready to fuck her
Fuck her, fuck her, just to fuck her
I just can't think anyways
So give me my pussy you whore

(I'm standing here, I'm waiting)

When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck me
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, Ohh
When in doubt, just get down on your knees and suck

(And I fool no one even more)

And I tie my whore
Leading to something terrible
I scare myself (come on, you whore)
What if we take away?
What I take away?
Me and my lifeless whore




I scare myself
I scare myself...
