You're first in line,
I've come to grips,
to build me up, then use your fists.
Valentine, your blood turns quick.
You loved me like a jihadist.
And now, my toxic baby
let's go swimming in the Charles
'til we get sick.
The plans we're making,
we'll go out and kiss the town
with nauseous lips.
A lesson in complacency.
We danced so close,
so faithlessly.
You bounce back fast,
like a trampoline.
I'm not dead to you,
I'm dead to me.
And now,
my hands are shaking.
Let's get tattoo broken hearts
on both our wrists.
We act so crazy,
they'll tell stories of our love
to therapists.
And now, my toxic baby
all the moonbeams in your mouth
were just a trick.
The plans we're making,
we'll go out and kiss the town
with nauseous lips.
