Lyrics

family values

My father and brother

Can’t stand my own mother

They took her money

Only one owes her

Only I know her

Only I know her

Only I’m stunned and terrified

Paint me a picture

Title it your family values

Title it your family values

Canvas under oil

Paint me a picture

Pour me up by dovetailing me

Pour me up by dovetailing me

Paint me a picture

Save me when you’re bored

You’re so agreeable it's a poison

You fuck with the city

I can tell cause you’re here

But I haven't the money

‘Cause of years I appeared

When I’m bustling to your place

Just to use your bedroom

Means I haven't seen my face or my friends in like a year

Better paint me a picture

Every palette is clean for you

Every paint brush completely new

Show me what to do

Paint me a picture

Pour me up by dovetailing me

Pour me up by dovetailing me

Paint me a picture

You could never lose

Even on purpose my perfect poison
