lyrics

Breathe it in baby,
it only hurts if you let it.
My whole body’s covered in carpet burn,
from sliding to your house
and his house
and her house
and my feet never did touch the ground.

A bullet-riddled body,
a human shield.
Your own personal gas mask
in a war-torn field.

‘Cause I’m violently capable
of being there for you
and I know I will
take all of your poison and wash myself with it
and drink that bath water
just to absolve your sins.
She only knows how to win.


A bullet-riddled body,
a human shield.
Your own personal gas mask
in a war-torn field.

Just don’t let me do what I’m so good at
‘cause if I do
I will carve myself hollow
to make some room for someone
to spill their dark into me.
I bet it's something you've seen.
I’ll take it
I’ll hold it
I’ll frame it
I'll give it a home
I'll let it grow
I will tuck it in and let it pull off the sheets
and wake up with it staring right back at me.
Don't you see?
I bet it's something you've seen.
I’ll let it stain my insides
just so your hands will stay clean.
Don't worry about me
we know I can take it
I'm just a bullet-riddled body,
a human shield.
Your own personal gas mask
in a war-torn field.
