Aesop Rock - Strain lyrics

[Verse 1] Same movie, different actress, quite the theatrics Yell out, “Cut!” when I'm tired of flinging matches When no explosion happens, pa**ion pa**es your gut fast And you wake up with a girl in a Robitussin mustache I start to feel like a stalker, the curves of her drive by And my nerves is too shot to talk to her I don't know how to convey it or make you see art With no control of when our souls are gonna depart [Hook] I wanna lay in your stain like a dog And wear your scent like a sh**ty gold chain I wanna lay in your vein like blood And play you out like a sh**ty gold chain I wanna stay in your brain because you're sane And that's enough for me to complain I wanna cave into pain but it's too late Just trying to feel good is a strain I won't be mean to you, I won't be seen with you I have to talk to you, I wanna walk with you I have no lights here, I wanna fight with you I wanna be with you [Verse 2] I won't let you go if you hate me, just don't amputate me I won't try to k** myself today as long as you save me These d** are for babies, I'll manipulate you crazy Just to get you to crave me Oxygen navigates through the bloody slice to coagulate it When a young girl in a tub opened her wrist and traded her life Her makeup was nice, her letter bold and lead Folded up under a candle, when opened read [Hook] I wanna lay in your stain like a dog And wear your scent like a sh**ty gold chain I wanna lay in your vein like blood And play you out like a sh**ty gold chain I wanna stay in your brain because you're sane And that's enough for me to complain I wanna cave into pain but it's too late Just trying to feel good is a strain I won't be mean to you, I won't be seen with you I have to talk to you, already stalking you I have no right to you, I wanna fight with you I wanna be in you [Verse 3] DNA make up the break up, make up with takeout Doggy bags from the steakhouse True, a bloody nose will ruin the make out session She breaks out walking on me, can pull the left-over steaks out My whole life is a blur Why is it no matter how many faces switch places it's still her? I wish I wasn't attracted but the mind attaches Snuck in her parents' house, stole her old mattress [Hook] So I can lay in your stain like a dog And wear your scent like a sh**ty gold chain I wanna lay in your vein like blood And play you out like a sh**ty gold chain I wanna stay in your brain because you're sane And that's enough for me to complain I wanna cave into pain but it's too late Just trying to feel good is a strain I won't be mean to you, I won't be seen with you I have to talk to you, already stalking you I have no right to you, I wanna fight with you I wanna be in you
