lyrics

I'm flirting with the masochist
He's flirting with the thought of death
We're both yearning for a little pain,
But I don't wanna give it to myself

Ba ba ba baby, throw me against the wall
But he's already gagged himself sick
So I asked him, why am I even here at all?
Cuz he needs somebody to watch him do it

Self-infliction is not my addiction
And it does not make me hot to watch his depiction
of things unrequited turned self-submissive
Hey Dorian, you're kinda boring me
Do something less derivative

He's trying to verbally spar,
But I'm just trying to get to my car
We're both dying for a little fight,
But I don't wanna take it that far

Ba ba ba baby, would you just throw me against the wall
But he's preoccupied with his own sins
So I asked him, why am I even here at all?
Cuz he needs somebody to see right through him

Self-infliction is not my addiction
And it does not make me hot to watch his depiction
of things unrequited turned self-submissive
Hey Durden, you're kind of a burden
Do something less derivative

So mom and dad didn't feed your imagination
And you grew up to turn to flagellation
Be more creative, cuz
Baby I'm not a sadist
I really I don't like that shit

Hey Kerouac, I'm not into that
Do something less derivative
