Skinny, Mean Man Say Anything (Ft. Pete Yorn)

[Spoken Intro: Modulated voice]
I know you love how I make it all go away:
All the joy, all the pain, all the thoughts in your brain
For the price of your soul, I will hold your heart in my talons
For three summers straight you've been my sweet arm candy;
And no one will ever, ever, take you away from me

[Verse 1: Max Bemis]
I saw, I smelled what he did to you, girl
And, to be frank, the thought makes my innards curl
How he preyed on your ripe insecurities
The thorn in your side is alive, and it's killing me
Obscure records entombed in his room with mechanical lust
Diapered, desolate middle-aged doom
On your knees in his downtrodden shit-eating grin of a room
If only you'd meet me here soon

[Pre-Chorus: Max Bemis]
If only you'd start breathing, I'd court you exclusively
With my shovel, I'm pounding earth 'til suddenly I see

[Chorus: Max Bemis]
You awake from the dirt and the grime
Stretch your fractured pretzel spine
Out to take your revenge for the crime
Filled with fire and finally mine
