Acetone

In the corner standing like a portrait
Buckled high upon your mother's walls
And all those metaphors
I could see you coming home without your pride
You never could let that old shit slide
Put me up the fever like the best bed
Is sweating out the years gone by
Try to satisfy this longing for a diamond goodbye
I know it's hard man, we've gotta try

Dig it if you want it but please don't forget
That I worked hard to make this place a home
Out in the garden in the morning
Weren't you shocked to see a woman made of stone
Though you try to make a mark
You only love me in the dark
I wash it off in a bath of blood and acetone

You can find a bust of Jesus
Weeping tears up in the old saloon
You said he'd be here soon
But the world I see is burning up tonight
Doesn't look much like we're gonna be alright

I heard the store downtown is closing
There's a clearance sale you wanna go
Gotta spend that dough
Nothing else seems like it's gonna do the trick
That dopamine withdrawal will make you sick

Take it if you want it but please don't forget
That I worked hard to make this place a home
Out in the garden in the morning
Were you shocked to see a woman made of stone?

Though you try to make a mark
You only love me in the dark
I'll wash it off in a bath of blood and acetone

When the morning comes for you
The sky a muted shade of blue
You'll know that I have only ever been a friend to you

Though you try to make a mark
You only love me in the dark
I'll wash it off in a bath of blood and acetone

When the morning comes for you
The sky a muted shade of blue
You'll know that I have only ever been a friend to you
