[Verse 1]
You're looking at me now and I don't know what to say
Medicine from the mouth is poison in the brain
And wet black streaks are scarring the side of your face
I watch you undress and sleep in the mess you made
[Chorus]
You'd look prettier dead
So I'll take you by the hand and direct you to the bed
You'll strain your lungs into the pillow, crying
No no no
[Verse 2]
After it is done, I can see the stains on your teeth
And the sides of your face seem to lack all symmetry
I will forgive and never forget
I won't deny my philosophy's amiss
These words are poison delivered through the lips
Stating it simply: ignorance is bliss
[Chorus]
You'd look prettier dead
So I'll take you by the hand and direct you to the bed
You'll strain your lungs into the pillow, sighing
No no no
