Domino

(album: New Age Filth - 2021)

I met a liar who reflected in me but I don't think they could tell
I loved a girl who I didn't deserve, so I fucked that up as well
I haven't cut a line in 10 long years... it sure does make me think
I wrote a list of my character flaws... the pen ran out of ink

I've said it all along: If you love me, then love me to death

I'm the noose in the nook
I'm the bad ending book
I'm the one that you wish got away before you bite the hook

I will always learn the hard way
Compromising those I love
I'd be fine with hurting myself if it didn't overflow to them

If I love you I'll love you to death

You'll feel the weight of my actions
I wish I couldn't tell
In spite of all my discretion I'm poisoning the well
Well
I had a girl who was too good for me, she soon would see the same
Do as I say and never as I do... I've put that rule to shame

I'm the noose in the nook. I'm the bad ending book
I'm the rush that you get when you want to, but can't bear to, look

I will always learn the hard way
Compromising those I love
I'd be fine with hurting myself if it didn't overflow to them
Learn the hard way
Those I love
Compromising everything I am

Counterproductive and a little destructive
Selfish like the past 10 years didn't even happen
So I guess I'm learning slow

Caution when approaching
Watch for warning signs
I embody every red flag, it gets bad I know

I know it gets bad
I've said it all along: If you love me then love me to death
