lyrics
barely sleeping, nightmares every evening
I'm half awake for em so every time I die I feel it
something biting at me, everybody can see it
it's in the details, the nails, I'm pale, frail
sister walks in opening windows, air's stale as hell
ok now for real though, what's the deal?
no pillow, mattress or blankets, floorboards tattered, you look haggard
every time we see you, you're fucking plastered, mom's had it
it happens, all these people in and out
now you stuck with all this baggage, them fuckers love that shit
no magic tricks, just throw it all in the trash quick
nothing you can salvage, this one you can't fix
that or they're here to stay
so I get some gloves, sleeves up and throw the last ten years away
had to trash my aunt's best rug
I need a drink and a shrink, prognosis: bedbugs
now check the new dude in your town out of the blue
no crew, no boo, it's too good to be true
no straight talk, he's all loopholes and you know something ain't quite two and two, something in his mood, yo
I know that too, so tell me what I'm supposed to do, though
yeah, I'm still fucked up, and that shit is contagious
and hanging with me probably won't do you no favors
and I try to stay away, was a stranger to my neighbors
but time moves slowly, a man gets lonely
we're all dirty, ain't only me, so why worry?
can't lay down with dogs and blame me for my fleas
catch mine or someone else's, choose your disease
got cured? I'm not sure, but she lays with me
her sleepless nights start like clockwork and she got hurt
it's not a shocker as she moves to the next one
it don't take a doctor, I'll tell ya: that's bedbugs
always gave folks the benefit, everyone's innocent
they say doing the same thing over and over expecting things to change is the definition of ignorant
that's bullshit -because every day's different
we all got issues, then one day it's you
everything you do you take all that shit with you
dealing with your problems, it's a process
think you got no skeletons cuz you trashed the closet?
four months in your town then up and bounced
critters showed up in the house unannounced, and I’m out
stop tango and untangle
pack my shit and go, it's easier to handle, my angle
live it long enough and it sticks
another of them alcoholics, believe me I'm taking my licks
shit hit me like a text from my ex-love.. bedbugs
