[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
