Drawing Flies Lyrics
[Intro]
Flies, flies
[Verse 1]
Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenity
I share a cigarette with negativity
[Hook]
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
[Verse 2]
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemy
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
[Hook]
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawin' flies
[Bridge]
I said, "Hey! What you yelling
About conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?
Hey! What you yelling
About sadists, co-addiction, perfect analogies?
Hey! What you yelling
About conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?"
Flies, flies
[Verse 1]
Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenity
I share a cigarette with negativity
[Hook]
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
[Verse 2]
Bathed in perspiration drowned my enemy
Used my inspiration for a guillotine
I fire a loaded mental cannon to the page
[Hook]
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawin' flies
[Bridge]
I said, "Hey! What you yelling
About conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?
Hey! What you yelling
About sadists, co-addiction, perfect analogies?
Hey! What you yelling
About conditions, permission, mirrored self-affliction?"
[Hook]
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawin' flies
(Flies)
[Verse 1]
Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenity
I share a cigarette with negativity
[Hook]
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
Flies…
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawin' flies
(Flies)
[Verse 1]
Sitting here like uninvited company
Wallowing in my own obscenity
I share a cigarette with negativity
[Hook]
Leaning on the pedestal that holds my self-denial
Firing the pistol that shoots my holy pride
Sitting here like wet ashes with X's in my eyes
And drawing flies
Flies…
