Bloodbather

Once in my life I'd like to take the gloves off I'm up for a fight My nagging mind won't shut up I can't stand the head shake and finger wag I'd like to sock my piety in the eye Once in my life Once in a while The bottle hits me too hard And just like a child I tear my conscience apart I should hold my Jiminy Cricket dear Still, I dream of choking him in my bile Once in a while Fuck that, there's gonna be a blood bath (Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise) Water your vitals and walk it off Don't light yourself on fire when your world is fine For once in your life Fuck that, I'm swimming in the blood bath (Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise) Life's an abscess or apple pie So shut those demons up And devour your slice For once in your life I don't want to be a crass prick I'm trying to give a shit Trying to tame this selfish sadist But it's a beast and it's not having it A brass bull in a china cabinet I'm a creature of bad habits With two hooves in the casket I don't fit in this photograph I'd like to get my visage back Flimflamming like an acrobat Every scumbag needs a blood bath 'Bout time I take my swan dive Once in my life Once in my life Once in my life Once in my life Fuck that, I'm drowning in the blood bath
