Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnetar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
[Verse 2]
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
[Verse 3]
Meat eatin' orchids forgive no one just yet
Cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
Broken hymen of your highness, I'm left black
Throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back
[Verse 4]
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
[Verse 5]
She eyes me like a Pisces when I am weak
I've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
I've been drawn into your magnetar pit trap
I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black
[Verse 6]
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Hey, wait, I got a new complaint
Forever in debt to your priceless advice
Your advice
Your advice
Your advice
