Lyrics

You call the shots

You have control or influence.

I’ll make it work

I will find a way to make it function or succeed.

Let’s give flesh wounds to each other and see who gives up first

Let's harm each other and observe who surrenders first.

Yeah

Expressing agreement or acknowledgment.


Masculine Masquerade

A performance of stereotypical masculinity.


You are everything I hate

You embody everything I dislike.

Dig my heels into your face

I resist or oppose you strongly.

For everything you’ve ever said

In retaliation for your words.


You’re choking on your silver tongue

You're struggling with insincere speech.

Your death will be the sweetest words you’ve spun

Your demise will be the consequences of your deceptive language.


That’s fucking right

An emphatic affirmation of correctness or agreement.


Emotional disposal

Disposing of emotions, possibly detachment or apathy.

I don’t think you get the message

I doubt you comprehend the message being conveyed.

You interact, but nothing’s real

Your interactions lack authenticity.

Have you learned your lesson

Have you understood the consequences of your actions?


You’re choking on your silver tongue

You're struggling with insincere speech (repeated).

Your death will be the sweetest words you’ve spun

Your demise will be the consequences of your deceptive language (repeated).

I’m dancing like angels on a pin

I am gracefully navigating a precarious situation, liberated from your wrongdoing.

I’m free of your sin

I am free from the burden of your sins.


Your story bends and folds

Your narrative distorts to conform but won't repair the situation.

To fit the mold, but you’ll never fix this

My broken body creates the narrative of your fiction.

My broken body writes the scripture of your fiction

My injuries tell the story of your deception.


My hollow heart

My emotions are vacant or insincere.

Your shallow skull will write my ending

Your superficial thoughts will dictate my conclusion.

My secrets keep you in my head

My hidden truths keep you in my thoughts.

But you’ll have to break in to get to them

Accessing my secrets requires breaking in.


Always wish for the best, always let it slide

Always hope for the best, tolerate offenses easily.

Always easy to bruise, but never hard to hide

Readily susceptible to injury but adept at concealing it.

I think it’s best you stay as far as you can

It's preferable for you to keep your distance.

I think it’s best you forget who you think I am

Forget the false image you have of me.


Angels

Referencing angels, possibly signifying purity or transcendence.

Dancing on a pin

Gracefully navigating a delicate situation like angels on a pin.

Like angels

Similar to angels, possibly suggesting a positive transformation.

Dancing on a…

Incomplete, possibly an ellipsis for dramatic effect.
