lyrics

oil-soaked rags
dress the way I like you to dress
makes me feel like a monster
but I'm the only monster you've got left
a family history
of mental illness
I should've taken the ransom they offered me
in place of these paltry affairs
somewhere just inside the territories
there's a tiger waiting to devour me
a reckoning for all the monstrous things I've done
to the woman I loved
a family history
of mental illness
I should've taken the ransom they offered me
in place of these paltry affairs
