Lyrics

You know what you did
There’s no hiding it
Right behind my back
Repeating old patterns
I tried to help break
For you

How many times will it take?
The common denominator
Is exactly what you think
But being in denial has always worked wonders
For you

Am I Caesar and you, the dagger?
23 years; one for each stab
You can only pull the wool for so long
23 years, circling the fucking drain

I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out
I know you love to watch
the lights go black

We know why you split
A pretty face with a slipping mask
Just like in class
Now you’re just a snake
Without the grass

Am I Caesar and you, the dagger?
23 years; one for each stab
You can only wear a mask for so long
23 years, circling the fucking drain

Et tu, Brute?
Et tu, Brute?
Eu tu, Brute?
Et tu? Cunt!

Et tu, Brute?
Et tu, Brute?
Eu tu, Brute?
Et tu? Fuck!

I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out
I’m bleeding out
A big, belly laugh
When they find you out
