Million - Jawbreaker

Would that you could touch this angel in a clutch of snakes?

Oh pretty, pretty, I’m aflame

So excited, so unslept

Somewhat littered, so unswept

You have to sleep before you wake

I am spilled and poured

I am peeled and cored

I am hanging from the floor

Flicker like a freak through a sleepless week

In a black cell of forever

There’s a point to this

A point I think I often miss

Oh clever, clever, where’s your heart?

You can turn a phrase until it reads a million ways

It makes no sense but it’s as good as it is sad

I am sad, elated

I am segregated

There’s this stitching and it’s itching

All my friends are dead

Asleep in distant beds

At least these enemies stay close

Take me to the pretty ones

I want to be a pretty one

Sign me to a nice girl so she can ruin me eternally

They offered me a million bucks

All I want’s a steady fuck

Oh steady, steady, where were you?

Channel surf a sea of static

See the prize but you can’t have it

There’s something thankless in a wish fulfilled

I am thrilled and bored

I am unskilled, adored

All of both and none of one

I would kill for more

I haven’t killed before

I could set this heart on stun

Take me to the pretty ones

I want to be original

Sign me to a nice girl so I can sing her something meaningful

In my perfect world I’d be signed to a nice girl

It would cost one million kisses
