Lyric Severed Lips

Severed Lips (J. Mascis)

I wanna help you.
I sense you re riding pretty low
I got the feeling
When your hair hits the ceiling
And there s something babe
You oughta know
I won t cry if you won t buy
But if were both kinda stumbling
Maybe I ll say "Hi"
That s my best
I never try that much
Cos I m scared of feeling that healing touch
You gotta get through my maze, and passively test
Cos I m choosing one love to
Tattoo across my chest

You know, the time has come
I ain t gonna fester no more
Let the world be free of my disease
I never knew a rubber doll
Would be so hard to please
Now I m reachin out
One last burst before I retract
No one will know until I finally let go
Of the one thing I ain t gonna never get back

I wanna help you
Baby, can t you see?
You re better than my pillow
Cos you don t stain so easily, oh no
You know it s hard just to finally let go
And leave all the pictures behind
Hope I brought you some happiness
I believe I just had to get on
It just wasn t the world I was hoping to find...
