So I'm poised to take this filthy knife,
and dig away at your insides....
till we find out,
what's been eating you these days

through all your horrible mood swings,
i pray for your heart to sing
"i'll be strong,
and carry you my love"

the hardest part,
the hardest part, is letting it go...

how long, how long
till you give up the ghost
breathe in, breathe out
and just let it all go

for every lie i've ever told,
my nose grows, and grows ten fold
till you exclaim...
"oh, i've caught you once again"

"it's just like men to hide the truth,
they disappoint with all they do"
can't you see I'm just your son,
all i needed was your love

the hardest part,
the hardest part, is letting it go...

how long, how long
till you give up the ghost
breathe in, breathe out
and just let it all go

So Doust! Doust! my arms in gasoline!
strike up a flame like you were never a friend to me
a pat on the back is just a passive attack
that EXCLAIMS! and EXPLAINS! you will never be better than me!
where's the glory of love?!
where's the child and that temptress of a mother?!
they went down with ship, like wrist across hips
oh, and they were never discovered!

the hardest part,
the hardest part, is letting it go...

how long, how long
till you give up the ghost
breathe in, breathe out
and just let it all go
