cavity search…
This is a song I wrote.
The down and dirty dozen and the cops were kissin’ cousins
And they left me with the tools, cause I’m the best at getting screwed
You lobbied like a lawyer, fed me reasons like they’re food
But I’ve been beaten I’ve been starved into a more carnivorous mood
Now I want to fill my hunger but I don’t know where to start
A girl with an actual heart
A girl with an actual heart
I was sucked into your chest where you held me like your breath
And you left me in that hollowness to entertain myself
With all the other things in life we never cared to tell between
Psychotropics, opiates, carcinogens, amphetamines
Recreational or chronic, who can tell the two apart?
And a girl with an actual heart
A girl with an actual heart
My arm was fully able when I pulled up to the table
But my will to win just buckled at the whiteness of your knuckles
So I lay my arm down easy, I don’t want to make you strain
And I don’t mind being beaten ‘cause it keeps me entertained
Now, who could ever turn away from such an easy mark?
A girl with an actual heart
A girl with an actual heart
If not your hand, use your fist
If not my heart, at least my wrist
Just hold onto something
Don’t leave me with nothing
If I just escape and hide I think the best that I would find
Would be somebody I could teach to help me reenact our crimes
So I’ve got to go to ground before I start to bottom out
There are things it does me so much better to forget about
Sleeping soundly, breathing easy, finding my way in the dark
A girl with an actual heart
A girl with an actual heart
