LYRICS

Get over yourself.
You'll find me under your skin
This is you being selfish...
This is you feeling sorry for yourself,
And if not, you're kidding yourself

It started off from the get go.
I'll kill to remember and you'll drink to forget.
But it's just your tongue you'll choke on,
If you speak any faster!

It's just as easy to rip a piece off.
I'll write all your lies off
And I don't really care what you wear on your sleeve.
Did you really think
(That you had hidden the pillow)
That covered the weapon,
(The knife that cut?)
I'm still in hiding
(And you're still kidding yourself.)

Speak up. Speak up.
Am I you're easy way out?
You must be kidding yourself. You must be kidding,
Just as easy as to rip out this silver from under your skin,
It's just your tongue you'll choke on.
(You will always drink to forget.)
