Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize...
[Verse 2]
I've tasted blood and it is sweet
I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet
I've trusted lies and trusted men
Broke down and put myself back together again
[Verse 3]
Stared in the mirror and punched it to shatters
Collected the pieces and picked out a dagger
I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers
And wished I could cut some parts off with some scissors
[Verse 4]
Come on little lady
Give us a smile
No, I ain't got nothing to smile about
I got no one to smile for
I waited a while for
A moment to say
I don't owe you a god damn thing
[Verse 5]
I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize...
[Verse 6]
I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
[Verse 7]
No, I won't smile
But I'll show you my teeth
And I'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe
I've be polite, but won't be caught dead
Letting a man tell me what I should do with my bed
[Verse 8]
Keep my exes in check in my basement
'Cause kindness is weakness or worse your complacent
I could play nice or I could be a bully
I'm tired and angry
But somebody should be
[Verse 9]
Come on little lady
Give us a smile
No, I ain't got nothing to smile about
I got no one to smile for
I waited a while for
A moment to say
I don't owe you a god damn thing
[Verse 10]
I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize...
[Verse 11]
I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize...
[Verse 12]
Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But I'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware
Yeah, someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But I'm glad to be a real nightmare
So save me your prayers
[Verse 13]
I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize...
[Verse 14]
I, I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but I love it every time
And I realize...
[Verse 15]
I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
That I'm no sweet dream, but I'm a hell of a night
