about

All of this shit is true as well.

lyrics

Did you always bend?
Did you finally break?
Did you always make the same mistake?
Did you lust for gold?
Did you pile it up?
Did you ever think it'd be enough?

Did you ever take a battery
And put it to your tongue?
Did you let it slide right down your throat?

Did your father cry
When your mother left?
Are there roaches on your family crest?
Did you fall in love?
Did you take a bride?
Did she run off with some other guy?

Did you ever smash your little toe
With a hammer just for fun
And write a letter in the blood?

Did you buy a house?
A nicer part of town?
Did you ever want to burn it down?
Did you get a dog?
Is she your only friend?

Are you happy with your happy end?
