I did a terrible thing And somebody should do something about it I'm haunted by an eternal return And I never should have allowed it I broke my own heart I'm trying to forgive myself But if it gets too close I gotta kill it Oh, I'm gonna need your help My annihilation My annihilation My annihilation My annihilation kicked off post-boredom I don't wanna be a better liar Don't wanna make you think That what you get is what you see Just cause you want it This muddy water ain't deep I broke my own heart I'm trying to convince myself That I can suffer if I want motherfucker Yeah, just put me back on your shelf My annihilation My annihilation My annihilation My annihilation started before I did My annihilation My annihilation My annihilation My annihilation еnded before wе did I gave you nothing You want more? You'll get more nothing Come on and give a big man a little thrill Come on and give a sick man his poison pill I don't want no harm I've done it all wrong for so long It feels okay (feels okay) From up here the parties and funerals They look the same (they look the same) When every morning after is the same day Every morning after is the same day I want one more last chance Last chance Make me another mistake All I can take is everything that I have given away I walked in with one foot out the door You knew that I was not gonna stay I broke my own heart I'm trying to forgive myself I don't give a goddamn about the magic Oh, just put me under your spell My annihilation My annihilation My annihilation My annihilation kicked off post-boredom I gave you nothing You want more? You'll get more

To my mistress the bridge, I don't feel well I'll be leaving and you can't stop me We've been carrying on too long We've been carrying on too long, I'm sorry, but I'm gone I've got a bad reputation to think about I've been dirty I've been wrong Maybe someday they'll find that I've washed up I'm stepping out to clear my head I'm breathing in to fill my lungs We're all dead, we're all dead Farewell scenic highway overpass It's better this way anyways My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride My lover the river makes a better soldier than a bride But I left my heart at the side of her bed And she's got the warmest body that I've never had Drag the lake, you'll find that it full of love Drag the lake, you'll find that it full of love Drag the lake, you'll find that it full of love Bring the children to the water And let them see what heartache did This matrimony needs a witness And you can teach them to swim And you can teach them to swim And you can teach them all to swim Don't let your dreamers grow up to be dead men Drown us at birth, save her some time Drifting on romantic holiday Breathless as her cold arms cover me Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love Drag the lake, you'll find it full of love

Pour Out your water That I might take a sip Your love consumes me Every drip It is like Honey On my lips Pour Out your water That I might take a sip Your words Are a lamp unto my feet When I walk down these Dark and Lonely streets You are all I need Pour Out your mercy And clear this busy mind Your love is like eden A slice of apple pie It is like sugar on my toung So Pour Out your mercy Clear my busy mind Your words Are a lamp unto my feet When I walk down these Dark and Lonely streets You are all I need
