Lyrics
[Intro]
Crucify
Cru-crucify me
Crucify
Cru-cru
[Verse 1]
I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone
Shaped like the figure '8'
Who trusts pretty girls anyway?
And I can't recall the last time I took advice from anyone
I'm sure I'll be the death of me
And I can't recall the last time I took love from anyone
I called Daddy
Who's got one anyway? Not me
[PreChorus]
Are you hating yourself?
Do you really hate me?
Are you hating yourself?
[Chorus]
Was it worth it? Would you do it again?
Aren't you tired of always makin' amends? (Of)
Or I know you hate me now (Hate)
I bet you hate me now (Hate)
Bring on the thorny crown (Hate)
[Verse 2]
Cross my heart then I hope to die
With a peace of mind
A piece of mind
Piece together my brain soon as this beat rewinds (Beat rewinds)
Nitrogen and propane, I spike your drink at times (Turn up, turn up)
That mean it hard it swallow this game, you'll throw up every line (Every line)
I notice people got Napoleon complexes, that's my confession (Yeah, that)
You said that we're equal but I know you're beyond guessin'
That I'm beyond desperate (Yeah, that)
6 a.m. on a Friday mornin', my darkest hours
Them heartless hours
My apartment is lost in a coffin
I'm dead to the world like I popped me a couple downers
Down and out on my luck
Salt water all on my tux and I call, she don't pick up
Then I fall when summer's endin'
I mean there's no pretendin'
I'm stuck in my ways and you're offended, that's life
That's you, this me, that vice
You're wrong, I'm right, that's right
I belong somewhere on ice
I'm cold, I'm a new blood type
Even colder, cold shoulder
Born sinner, you know, Cole showed us
I have nothin' to lose
My dark side been well in-tuned
A Gemini go show them faces
And this here just one of my moods, Babylon
[Chorus]
Was it worth it? Would you do it again?
Aren't you tired of always makin' amends? (Of)
Or I know you hate me now (Hate)
I bet you hate me now (Hate)
Bring on the thorny crown (Hate)
[Outro]
Crucify me
Crucify
Cru-crucify me
Crucify
Cru-cru
Crucify
Cru-crucify me
Crucify
Cru-cru
