lyrics

What you gonna do about me?
Because I’m trying to be all the things I said I would be
All the things I’ve been trying to be
What you gonna do about me?

You know I’m trying to be me

I’m trying to get over this!
Trying to get over this fear, like
Will we shatter? Will we shatter?
If everything falls apart
Windshield smashed out and the wheels fall off
Your mouth is all talk
“Shut up, ‘cause we’re fucked!”
Does it even matter?

I'm trying to shake this chain on the ground
Sand in my mouth, waiting around to get crucified
St. John-style: my head on a platter, beaming
Mama, come on and stop teasing
Slap my face for no reason?
Why does my blood and the things I love
Always end ass-up on the ceiling?
Pull me apart and keep peeling
I’ll bite your hand while it’s feeding
You could twist my arm; I could cut you off
I’m trying to get over this feeling
I’m trying to get over this!

I’m trying to get over this fear, like
Will we shatter? Will we shatter?
You said it would be alright
But God, I feel like a shit-hole after
I’m trying to get over this feeling
I’m trying to get over this

It’s not gonna work, you and I
All turned around, teeth and knives
Wheels in the dirt, turn it up
Making a muck, shit’s fucked
Monster Mash
You and me, like a car crash

Turn my words into cowboys, bleeding?
Make my face a contestant, screaming?
I’m trying to get over this
I'm trying to get over this

Alright, you said it, you said it would be
