Lyrics
[Intro]
Soaked your clothes in kerosene
Cleanse the mind of ketamine
Slide your mom on top of me
Wash yourself with turpentine
[Verse 1]
My arms I've raised again
Today I don't feel dimmer
I have no path within
Don't know if I'll get better
[PreChorus]
My own mind's unclean
Can't taste anything
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
[Chorus]
I'll clean myself with turpentine
Working at the factory
Stick the veins with nicotine
Wash yourself with turpentine
[Verse 2]
I feel like I'll cave in
I'm anxious, I am weathered
I've lost my way again
I know there ain't no treasure
[PreChorus]
My mind breaks with ease
Sticks and stones and dreams
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
[Chorus]
I'll clean myself with turpentine
Working at the factory
Stick the veins with nicotine
Wash yourself with turpentine (Turpentine, turpentine, turpentine)
[Bridge]
Sharks smell the blood in the water
We're all just lambs to the slaughter
It's only all the time, this time
A generation lost and forgotten
Clawing at the lid of the coffin
Your god ain't coming back this time
[Bridge]
Quit your job and have a drink
Take a pound of ecstasy
Blah-blah-blah-blah-blah, fuck
Wash yourself with turpentine
[PreChorus]
What if I'm not like the others?
A broken man, a Frankenstein
What if my heart won't recover?
[Chorus]
I'll clean myself with turpentine
Light me like the trampoline
Stick your dick in Ovaltine
Snort a bag of Dramamine
Douse yourself in gasoline
Throw up in a limousine
Jack off to a magazine
Wash yourself with turpentine, goddammit
