You Used To Have Such Nice Teeth, Son

from Fraser Murderburger - SERIOUS MUSICIAN by The Murderburgers

lyrics

I took your call round the back of Deadbeat Studios
I promised you and myself that I'd keep in touch
But even with my track record of being a piece of shit
I never thought that I would slip this much
I hope one day you'll spend less time in hospitals
And that I'll answer every time you write
Instead of shutting off from it all
And letting my brain self-destruct each night

I keep telling myself that I've changed then regroup for a month or two
And then break my promise just like my mother used to do
And sometimes I try to kid myself by staying up all night
In a half-arsed attempt to feel like I'm alive
Sometimes I swear I feel like it's working
And it reminds of back when I didn't feel like I was dying
That was back when we didn't have to sleep, but now every time I try to rest
I have that same nightmare about a home invasion
And I wake up and that screwdriver's right back there in my chest

Then it's back to being bound by cold sweat to bed sheets
With that numbness in my arm
And trying to think of some more bullshit ways
To say I didn't mean to cause you harm.
