Cursive - Bloodbather Lyrics

Once in my life
I'd like to take the gloves off
I'm up for a fight
My nagging mind won't shut up
I can't stand the head shake and finger wag
I'd like to sock my piety in the eye
Once in my life

Once in a while
The bottle hits me too hard
And just like a child
I tear my conscience apart
I should hold my Jiminy Cricket dear
Still, I dream of choking him in my bile
Once in a while

F*ck that, there's gonna be a blood bath
(Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise)
F*ck that, there's gonna be a blood bath
(Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise)
F*ck that, there's gonna be a blood bath

Water your vitals and walk it off
Don't light yourself on fire when your world is fine
For once in your life

F*ck that, I'm swimming in the blood bath
(Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise)
F*ck that, I'm swimming in the blood bath
(Dear boy, disembowel the foul noise)
F*ck that, I'm swimming in the blood bath

Life's an abscess or apple pie
So shut those demons up and devour your slice
For once in your life

I don't want to be a crass prick
I'm trying to give a shit
Trying to tame this selfish sadist
But it's a beast and it's not having it
A brass bull in a china cabinet
I'm a creature of bad habits
With two hooves in the casket
I don't fit in this photograph
I'd like to get my visage back
Flimflamming like an acrobat
Every scumbag needs a blood bath
'Bout time I take my swan dive
Once in my life
Once in my life
Once in my life
Once in my life

F*ck that, I'm drowning in the blood bath
F*ck that, I'm drowning in the blood bath
