lyrics

You sit down tanning in your own rays
Your frying skin will turn back in with every feel you fake
You're like a spider inside insane
Tangling in your sticky web that wraps me like a chain
No use pretending I don't mind
I see no reason to waste my time

Crying in the car, spitting out my love onto the dashboard
As it drips to the floor while I'm locking my door
I'll be pushing down hard just a-crying in the car

What a scum you are, you hurt me bad
You are a rodent, and you don't care if I'm sad
I'll bet you like the smell of your own skin
I reach my hand into your tank and come back up a pin
Alone and shaking in my chair
My hands are cold and so is my hair


Crying in the car, running over squirrels that get in my way
And each one that I hit, I pretend deserved it
Cause they were lined up for a ride inside your car

Gonna leave here for a change
Running out inside the rain
You can look in any window and see the same
All the people sit and stare
Tangled in each others' hair
Streaking down their cheeks with the cologne they pick today

Hacking up your lies just like a cat
[cough] ! [cough] ! How many ways am I capable of saying that?
You're the mosquito of my despair
You push me high and pull me dry and take off in the air
A clear case of an Axis II
My diagnosis just for you

Is crying in the car, stepping on the accelerator
And I'm speeding away from the things that you say
You'll be breathing my dust while I'm hoping you must be
Crying to yourself, breaking all the dishes left on the shelf
And I'll find myself still crying in the car
