lyrics

well i guess by the blood stain of your lips
and the wander of your fingertips
i should prove true to my ruthlessness and stay here
well i’m just a kid of ill-repute
but the skin i wear’s my only suit
and you you’re just a substitute for the one that i hold dear
you know you could be anyone
god forgive my tasteless tongue
i never should have been set free
i claw my eyes i skin my face
beg somehow to be replaced
that’s how we deal with boys like me
well i guess for this world so sick with loss
and those who dream despite the cost
i should climb down off my rugged cross
and lay with you
but you know by now its half past late
and i only came here for escape
you you’re just my next mistake
like me to you
you know you could be anyone
god forgive your unborn sons
i hope they don’t end up like me
i drag my mind through streets of shame
hate myself forgive the game
that’s how we deal with boys like me
but despite what you’ve been told
i once had a soul
left somewhere behind
a former friend of mine
and i hate to speak so free
but you mean nothing to me
so if the street lights they shine bright
i’ll get home tonight
i guess by the dim light in your eyes
and that to you all things come to you as a surprise
i should set the steel-trap of your thighs
and dive right in
but to you i’m just a confused child
insecure or in denial
go raise your robes and have your trial
i’ll let you win
you know i could be anyone
god forgive what i should’ve done
my thoughts enough to guilty be
yes i guess i made this bed
but i’ll take the sidewalk instead
that’s how we deal with boys like me
but despite what you’ve been told
i once had a soul
left somewhere behind
a former friend of mine
and i hate to sound so true
but i mean nothing to you
so if the street lights they shine bright
i’ll get home tonight
