by my own hand

Singer: you am i

can you cut that tendon at the back of my hip

i can't run away

my bones congeal

the stakes are simple

shit and bile

but you just don't get it

you must hook up with me for a year round summer

'cause when the cold comes

you stay and sit number

but i'm sure ice would melt in your glove

and you just don't get it

and it just can't hurt any worse than before

strike a match and bolt the door

you get nothing back 'cause you're gonna go down

by my own hand

by my own hand yeah

so i'm one bad gig out of the jason recliner

one bad song and i'm back at the diner

yeah

eating your scraps

cleanin' your crap

but you just don't get it

i hate your ambition

hell i even hate mine

makes me holograms and little things and water out of wine

but you won

yeah hon

well fuck it i'm done

and i just don't get it

and it just can't hurt any worse than before

you get it now

i was nothing more

you get nothing more

you're gonna go down

by my own hand

by my own hand

pills for pills sake

liquor for god sake

your tryin' to fix a shark wound

with a cotton ball

yeah

my own hand

my own hand

so get me to the airport and throw me on a plane

do the sentimental tango and send me off again

i'll bounce right back 'cause i'm gonna go down

by my own hand

by my own hand yeah

bring on the new sound

Lyric Context: by my own hand - you am i
