Thick Skull

I am a magnet for broken pieces
I am attracted to broken people
I pick ’em up and now my fingers are bleeding
And it looks like my fault
And it looks like I’m caught red-handed

Hit over the head, epiphany
Over my head, repeatedly
Thick skull never did nothing for me
Same lesson again? Come on, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me

Only I know where all the bodies are buried
Thought by now I’d find ’em just a little less scary
Might get easier but you don’t get used to it
Keep on autopilot,
What’s the body count up to now, captain?

Hit over the head, epiphany
Over my head, repeatedly
Thick skull never did nothing for me
Same lesson again? Come on, give it to me
Give it to me, give it to me, give it to me

Come on out with your hands up
Come on out with your hands up
I’m coming out with my hands up,

Hit over the head, epiphany
Over my head, repeatedly
Thick skull never did nothing for me
Same lesson again? Come on, give it to me

I pick ’em up
And now my fingers are bleeding
And it looks like I’m caught red-handed

“Take it,”
They always want you to take it
Just close your eyes, baby, fake it
Burning inside out

Shaking, screaming hysterical
I get lost in an ocean of regret
Burning inside out

Cold feet, I was a kid, I was lonely
Would’ve done anything only
To be by his side

I can’t speak
I get to feelin’ my heartbeat
It’s been a terrible news week

And I don’t know how
Oh, I don’t know how

But I, I don’t want this to be
The saga of my life
The saga of my life

I just wanna be free
Get over it in time
Push it out of my mind

Cold feet, I was a kid, I was lonely
He pushed me down on the concrete

Oh, I can’t speak
I get to feelin’ my heartbeat
I’ll just make it through this week
And I’ll get out alive

But I don’t know how
Oh, I don’t know how

And I don’t want this to be
The saga of my life
The saga of my life

I just wanna be free
Get over it in time
Push it out of my mind

Nobody believed me, nobody believed me
Nobody believed me, nobody believed me
Oh, nobody believed me, nobody believed
Oh, nobody believed me, nobody believed me

Hurray for the Riff Raff’s β€œSAGA”
