Love Your Self Abuse

I'll lick the polish from your shoes
I'm feeling good and so should you be too
That's your first mistake presuming I desire a break
'cause I don't care your sympathetic ears will bleed
The smoke will stop me seeing red
I did so much I'm like the living dead
Once upon a time when I was young and in my prime
There seemed a point but now it's blunt and I feel high
LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE
Baby we were born to lose
SO LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE
It may be all you've got and if it is then that's your lot so enjoy
I'm not that good at anything
I'm feeling sorry for myself again
If it's understood that I am bad and you are good
Then leave me be to wallow in my red wine sea
LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE etc
It may be all you've got and if it is then that's your lot
So enjoy the sensation of your mental liberation right now
My memory is like a sieve
I can forget but not forgive myself
As a consequence the punishment is my pretence
Of pained regret a thin veneer which can appear
As I require do you understand the attitude the fascination
And the desire to make yourself feel good
LOVE YOUR SELF ABUSE
It may be all you've got and if it is then that's your lot
So enjoy the sensation of your mental liberation and feel
A little better you deserve it you're a fucking star
