From the album Here We Go Crazy (2025) Album is available March 7 https://rr.lnk.to/HWGCAlbum Lyrics I was the golden child with all the brains I was so wild and too hard to contain I was a whiny ball of nerves and need Perfectly taut, invincibility Let’s be blunt for a moment Say it right to my face Heavy hands at the ready I need to know: Friend or foe? I feel my back against the wall A steppingstone, a primal roar I hook and claw, neanderthal Look at me weave like a leopard off my leash The devil you thought you knew has broken free Amber and ochre mixed with sweat and cum You won't share your paint with everyone Look out I’m feeling dirty Then I lose restraint Get to bed by ten thirty (Leaves are falling, please don’t falter Sealed encaustic, leash and collar) Take another drag off a cigarette Itching for a fight near the swing set Angel breathing down on my clavicle Chewing on a bone like an animal Dialing up torque on a tourniquet Choking out the life as I pirouette Look into a mirror on a black wall Every time I see the neanderthal
