Lyrics
Yo
It's me baby
Light cigarettes, light ribbons
In the red light district where they intersect like rhythms
See life through a prism
Willing to split the difference if only for the right schism
Elegance takes precision
Catch flies with simple syrup and sacrifice pure vision
Truth is a nervous system
Balanced on the precipice of perfect wisdom
Who's gonna marry me now?
Or carry me out or stare me down?
Downstairs the prayers
Letting out affairs
Getting out who cares?
It's just sound
Like innocence, try prison
Like you won't take deliverance
Whatever hole you find it in
Violence is a given
From the other side of the fence
It's just like television
I'll admit there's been some dereliction
I'll seek forgiveness
And you get the permission
Life's a bit like a burn victim
We see its harsh reality and yet we prefer fiction
Like this is nice, but is it worth it?
Does it justify its price?
Does it serve its worthless purpose?
Will you heed your own advice?
If you wanna make it work
It's best to check everything twice
In lieu of two new sets of eyes
Incentivize some passersby
She feels no strings inside her stomach
But that doesn't mean they're not there
Must have never worked
And the audiences love it
Their expectations plummet
I bring to mind the thing she signed
But she's long since memorized her lines
She's terrified in public
Objectified by her subject
Who's gonna marry me now?
Where are we now?
You're wearing me out
If you want him to care
Ten years from now
Then he'd doubt, shout
These things are nice, but it ain't worth it
And I've been wasted half my life
I've been trained to think I deserve it
And I've been dumb and deaf and blind
This ain't right and I ain't perfect
And I ain't trying to say
Things are nice, but it ain't worth it
It ain't worth it, no more
These things are nice, but it ain't worth it
It ain't worth it, it ain't worth it
These things are nice, but it ain't worth it
It ain't worth it, it ain't worth it
These things are nice, but it ain't worth it
It ain't worth it, it ain't worth it
These things are nice, but it ain't worth it
It ain't worth it, no more
