Lyrics

Tar

Gentleness is worn and battered

She smells of cigarettes

She knows how many times before, he's been shattered

But she hasn't gave up yet

But she hasn't gave up yet

But she hasn't gave up yet

But she hasn't gave up yet

Would you tear me up

Would you tear me all apart

Would you tear me up

Would you rip me all apart

To get to the bottom of the truth

To get to the bottom of the truth

To get to the bottom of the truth

To get to the bottom of the truth

I told you

Sacred altar's on it's last leg

She knows that it's not all

She's held there by that ruthless pig

But she's not afraid to fall

But she's not afraid to fall

But she's not afraid to fall

But she's not afraid to fall

Would you tear me up

Would you rip me all to shreds

Would you tear me up

Would you cut me right in half

To get to the bottom of the truth

To get to the bottom of the truth

To get to the bottom of the true truth

To get to the bottom of the truth

I fed you
