lying, for leisure
dying, it's my pleasure
all of the pieces and part of the plan
add up to something i can't understand
my eyes are open wider

don't look at me, i didn't ask for this
i didn't ask for your butterfly kiss
sugar and sandalwood all disappear
washing away in your crocodile tears

crying for good measure
pyrite, it's my treasure
i look for meaning in every regret
i haven't found one good reason yet
my eyes are open wider

don't look at me, i didn't ask for this
i didn't ask for your butterfly kiss
sugar and sandalwood all disappear
washing away in your crocodile tears

lying for leisure
dying, it's my pleasure

have you ever had someone insinuate themselves into your life only so they could shit on you? well, this song is about one of those people. the opening two lines of each verse are counterpoint with the first one referring to the shitter and the second to shittee. the second line has particular personal meaning.
