Verse 1
So you're your own god, frankly, nobody cares
Hate to break it to ya, darling, but life is unfair
You tell me I'm not worth a minute of your time
Sorry sweetie you're not worth a single second of mine.
Chorus
So do your worst cause you can't take something from nothing
I would know, cause I once had it all
When you've got no one you've got nothing to lose
That's what you told me, as I recall
Only at death do we show our true colours
And frankly my love yours is black
Once you figure all this out and come back on your knees it's then that
You'll realize I'm not coming back!
No not this time
Verse 2
You got so many faces I can't tell which one is you
You're a walking contradiction boy, you've got me so confused
Cause you say that you love me, then you say you want me dead
Well your voodoo dolls don't scare me at all cause you're outta your fucking head
(chorus)
(trumpet solo bridge)
Verse 3
Now all that's left to see is the bittersweet memory
Of the stupid boy I used to pity
And I'll consider it a lesson learned
You play with fire and you're bound to get burned
Well now it's your turn!
(chorus)
Outro
Now that you're gone I'm not coming back, no, no not this time!
I'm moving on, not coming back; no, not this time.
This early-career set really captures the essence of "Merms" we know and love years later. The raw talent, the musical range, the funniness and zaniness... It's all here and it always has been. You just have to look. Must-have set for your collection. devilspawn41283
Finally, Merms's 1st full-length LP has found its way to Bandcamp. I really like this album because of its variety, catchy hooks, and strongly emotional subject matter. Still play thru it semi-regularly and can't wait for their next LP. Nettacki
