Lyrics

Mastery

Whenever I fuck

I’m 16 again

And if she contorts her face just so

I can feel that familiar bruise

Around the casket off my eye bone

If only you could see me

A well-muscled cowboy gorilla

Stalking these city streets

With a heart full of broken monsters

If only you could see me

If only you could see me now

Maybe you’d hold back for once
