Alcohol
Sisyphus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Expression, repression, submission, my lesson is
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol
Submission, precision, possession, suggestion is
Tylenol, Tylenol, Tylenol, Tylenol
Depression, repression, expression, obsession is
Al-Anon, Al-Anon, Al-Anon, Al-Anon
Discretion, oppression, my lesson, transgression is
Protocol, protocol, protocol, protocol

I am my mother's son, I am mother's son
I am my mother's son, I am mother's son

The message in question, disease in my knees was it
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol
Aggression in question, confessin' I need of it
Tylenol, Tylenol, Tylenol, Tylenol
Impression, concession, addiction, my lesson is
Al-Anon, Al-Anon, Al-Anon, Al-Anon
Impression in question, intention, my weapon is
Alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol

I am my father's son, I am my father's son
I am my father's son, I am my father's son

They were divisible, living invisible, clinical, pivotal, biblical, medical, pinnacle, criminal, difficult miracle, fucking embarrassing, pitiful, minimal, dead in the head, like a rat on my bed with his teeth all a ready to bled me in pleasure, so he sucked out my soul with the devil's integrity.

Yeah, he sucked out my soul with the devil's integrity
Fuck this shit

Yo, I am a witness, acrylic, an institute. Fuck me. I'm heavy, I'm fucking incredible. Mess with my lesson, devotion, my heaven in question is heavy and mental addiction, adventure. I'm down on the floor and the rug is a mess. I'm a crab with a kiss and a squid on my chest. I can feel you beside me, I feel you around me. Equation is algebra lesson. Confession, I need you be near me. I kill you. Endear me. I kiss you, I catch you, I kid you, I want your protection, I jump like a tango, a kangaroo. Monogamy song is a mess. My address. I'm all sweaty. I need you beside me like Sisyphus down on me, holdin' me, throwin' me like he's found in the stone, but I know he's a killer, the weight of the pillar, my theories a thriller, my stories are filler. I feel like venom. I'll bite you, despite you. I wanted to like you, yo… but I'll suck out your soul with the devil's integrity.

I'll suck at your dick with the devil's integrity

I am not my father
I am not my father

I am not my father
I am not my father
