Hell Is An Impression Of Myself
[Verse 1]
David, do you think that you could lay here for a while?
All I'm asking for's a little of your time
I had that dream
I die my death and see the afterlife is real
[Verse 2]
I am someone's mother and I try to take her with me
From the riverbed, she presses through my palm
Three copper coins, each single-sided
With a picture of her face
[Refrain]
"Don't come after me"
"Don't come after me"
"Don't come after me"
"I have to swim forevеr by myself"
[Verse 3]
Now the world's on fire and I'vе cul-de-sac'd the torture
Everything you've done, you're doing it again
I can't confront my terror thoughts
Without a scalpel and a pen
[Refrain]
Someone's after me
Someone's after me
Someone's after me
For doing an impression of myself
[Instrumental Break]
[Refrain]
"Don't come after me, oh"
"Don't come after me, oh"
"Don't come after me"
"I have to swim forever by myself"
Someone's after me, ooh
Someone's after me, ooh
Someone's after me
For doing an impression of myself
For living an impression of myself
Hell is an impression of myself
[Outro]
(Don't come after me)
(Don't come after me)
(Don't come after me)
(Hell is an impression of myself)
(Hell is an impression of myself)
(Hell is an impression of myself)
