You Know Me Better

I am a histamine
Wet wound in the Vaseline
I have kissed the ring
On hands that seem too big to bleed
They’re gonna kill the man who put the fork in the road
Gonna put it back
Now there’s one way to go
Jesus and Mary, oh, mother, help me, God
I asked you for a vision
Now I'm asking: Turn it off

You know me better than I know myself
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You know me better than I know myself
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You can’t help me now
You can’t help yourself
I told you everything
There’s nothing left to tell
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You know me better than I know myself

Advance and retreat
Dead tongues and dead meat
There’s gold in the seam
There’s milk in the tracks
Legal teens bundled up and cached
I held the hand that fed me
But now it makes me sick
There’s no generation
Everybody quit
These are millennial loads in my veins
Diabetic wounds pumping soft bits of pain

You know me better than I know myself
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You know me better than I know myself
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You can’t help me now
You can’t help yourself
I told you everything there’s nothing left to tell
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You know me better than I know myself

I feel safe and sorry but we’re neither, are we?
Let me in or let me out
Rotten fruit and babies
That’s the way you paid me
Take your blessing off my house
Isolate and save me
How could you replace me?
Tell me that and kiss my mouth

You know me better than I know myself
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You know me better than I know myself
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
If you could see me now
If I could see myself
If it wasn’t me it’d be somebody else
I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You know me better than I know myself

I don’t have to think
I think it’s just as well
You know me better than I know myself
