lyrics

Be a bastard, be a verb
be an angel when it's deserved
I won't ever get picked apart
Vultures cannot touch me

Will I lose you in the smoke?
Leave my lungs in water,
I will sink to the bottom,
and I won't dare to breathe

Because I didn't ask for a surgery
I didn't ask for these golden lungs
and I can't wait for history
I'm needing something more

No I'm not dead yet, I just can't fucking breathe
and these gills they are failing
and I still cannot see
Will I ever be whole again?
Will I ever not be in three?
I will sink to the bottom,
tell my father I'm a goner

Because I didn't ask for a surgery
I didn't ask for these golden lungs
and I can't wait for history
I'm needing something more

Because I'm not dead yet
No I'm not dead yet
I'm not dead yet
Stitch me up and see

Be a bastard, be a verb
be an angel when it's deserved
and I won't ever get picked apart
Vultures cannot touch me

Because I didn't ask for a surgery
I didn't ask for these golden lungs
and I can't wait for history
I'm needing something more
