Lyrics

[Verse 1]
you bite
through
the big wall
the big wall
bites back
you sit there
and
sulk
sit there and
bawl
you are so
pretty
when youre
on your
knees
disaffected
eager
to please
[Verse 2]
sometimes
you sulk
sometimes
you burn
god rest
your soul
when the
moment comes
and we've
already gone
just like
your dad
you'll never
change
[Verse 3]
each time it
comes
it eats me
alive
i try to
behave
but it eats me
alive
so i declare
a holiday
fall asleep
drift away
[Verse 4]
sometimes
you sulk
sometimes
you burn
god rest
your soul
when the
moment comes
and we've
already gone
just like
your dad
you'll never
change
[Verse 5]
sometimes
you sulk
sometimes
you burn
god rest
your soul
when the
moment comes
and we've
already gone
just like
your dad
you'll never
change
