"decay" lyrics

"decay"

Say I'm leavin', yes I mean it
I done did what I could do
I might flee and try out bein' someone you would never choose
Oh, softly, I'll sift, I'll run
Hold me still, I'll fight, I'll cry, I'll hum

A young man makin' his money
An '82 Chevy with a V8
Nothin' makes sense, and it's funny
Everybody here is gonna decay
Priests and the aliens fear you
Everyone knows where to go now, it seems
I gotta hole in my chest
I gotta learn how to clean things
And I gotta learn how to rest

Don't go, tell me who's in charge here
Where's the boss? I'm pleadin'
I ain't doin' nothing until she and I start speakin'
Whisper in my good ear so I can't hear them leavin'
Baby, all this touchin', feelin' got me overthinkin'
And I don't care who did it, I just need an answer
Tonight I found the shit, I'll cross the floor askin' for ransom
Since I don't give a damn, son
You got a grudge and you always will have one
Who made you angry with me and your action?

A young man makin' his money
An '82 Chevy with a V8
Nothin' makes sense, and it's funny
Everybody here is gonna decay
Priests and the aliens fear you
Everyone knows where to go now
I gotta hole in my chest
I gotta learn how to clean things
And I gotta learn how to rest
