I've got this Hatchet
It's made of redwood
It cuts through plastic
And God, it feels good
To watch you crumble
Beneath the weight of all that makeup
I've got these glasses
That see through bullshit
Like X-ray vision
Except with your sins
You are a phoney
And there is nothing for you here
And yet I still spray this song out of my charcoal lungs
I never thought that you were listening
Didn't know I could clear a room that fast
And yet, to tell the truth, this song was never meant for you
It is a tattoo - Something I've got to learn to live with
I've got this baggage
Yeah, I've got problems
But I've been doing
My best to solve them
I've got a thousand tiny fractures in my brain
And yet I still pray but not for long
Hoping for something to prove me wrong
I'd like to build something not just hack and slash at the ground
(Cause we were never meant to burn the world down)
But I always get the same line stuck in my head
From that one song, the one that says,
"If you live by the hatchet you'll die without any friends..."
I've got this sadness
It's like a blanket
It keeps me cozy
But I don't think I'd make it
On the outside
I'm like a common criminal
Cause I've got this habit
I'm never happy
There's always something
Waiting for me
To carve a symbol
Let the world know what I've done
