hightide hotel - malice lyrics
i get mean when i get smart
and when i set my mind to it there’s little i can’t pick apart
i’ve been known to erupt and self-destruct
so you should keep a safe distance
or i may drag you into this abyss without you realizing it
always thinking but never full
forever unaware that there’s a world outside of my skull
i recall what a psychiatrist once said
of the things i’d rather not forget
she taught me this subconscious trick, taught me to write them down in red
said that way they’d “stay stuck in my head”
so often i’m surprised
by some of the thoughts that come leaking through my lips at times
if i invite you in with a slight grin then it’s a masterful disguise
perfectly masking the malevolence hidden behind my down-turned eyes
and i have rows of teeth behind my teeth to make the most of every bite
and i could drag you so far underneath that you could only dream of light
i am not the type who easily forgets
no i relish my regrets
but i took her up on that advice and wrote all my misdeeds in red
to be sure they stay stuck in my head
a growing list of my dead ends
and an ever shrinking list of friends
it’s a sour, smirking resentment
