Self Control

from 3 Songs by Lady Bones

/

lyrics

I have tried to be a liar for you
but honestly when it comes to honesty its true
in my head in my heart in my soul
I'm the perfect picture of
self control

let's play a game do our pieces match?
yours are a bit more subtle mine a defect batch
I've got it all I was born carefree
yea I am happy it embarrasses me

and I know it's wrong
and this is true
when I'm upset I blame the pictures of you
and you hate me and I hate you
let's build a family where the feelings are true

scream my name
I'll spit it back
we learn our lessons when our eyes turn black
and what is wrong
is also right
you can't hope to win a war without a single fight

cut me up place my head on your chest
I'll be your silent toy obeying every request
swallow my body spit out my bones
so I don't have to hear it when the stranger moans

burn my bones oh my bones burn true
kindly spread my ashes at the Jonestown zoo
and then your free, free of everything
call yourself a leader but you still have a king

and I know it's wrong
and this is true
when I'm upset I blame the pictures of you
and you hate me and I hate you
let's build a family where the feelings are true

scream my name
I'll spit it back
we learn our lessons when our eyes turn black
and what is wrong
is also right
you can't hope to win a war without a single fight
