chorus
I, i keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but i love it every time
And i realize

verse 1
I've tasted blood and it is sweet
I've had the rug pulled beneath my feet
I've trusted lies and trusted men
Broke down and put myself back together again
Stared in a mirror and punched it to shatters
Collected the pieces, then picked out a dagger
I've pinched my skin in between my two fingers
And wished i could cut some parts off with some scissors

pre-chorus
"come on, little lady, give us a smile"
No, i ain't got nothin' to smile about
Got no one to smile for, i waited a while for
A moment to say i don't owe you a goddamn thing

chorus
I keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but i love it every time
And i realize

post-chorus
I'm no sweet dream, but i'm a hell of a night
That i'm no sweet dream, but i'm a hell of a night

verse 2
No, i won't smile, but i'll show you my teeth
And i'ma let you speak if you just let me breathe
I've been polite, but won't be caught dead
Lettin' a man tell me what i should do with my bed
Keep my exes in check in my basement
'cause kindness is weakness, or worse, you're complacent
I could play nice or i could be a bully
I'm tired and angry, but somebody should be

pre-chorus
"come on, little lady, give us a smile"
No, i ain't got nothin' to smile about
I got no one to smile for, i waited a while for
A moment to say i don't owe you a goddamn—

chorus
I, i keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but i love it every time
And i realize
I, i keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but i love it every time
And i realize

bridge
Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But i'd rather be a real nightmare, than die unaware, yeah
Someone like me can be a real nightmare, completely aware
But i'm glad to be a real nightmare, so save me your prayers

chorus
I, i keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but i love it every time
And i realize
I, i keep a record of the wreckage in my life
I gotta recognize the weapon in my mind
They talk shit, but i love it every time
And i realize

post-chorus
I'm no sweet dream, but i'm a hell of a night
That i'm no sweet dream, but i'm a hell of a night
