I have a nasty temper that flares on a hairtrigger.

lyrics

Hairtrigger

I have no fear of telling you
Just what I feel you put me through
Befall a wall of concrete make
Made me your last mistake

Song to say good bye
Deported from my nuclei
Though I may rely on a hairtrigger
I move on from this ennui

You’re out of line, more paranoid
Than all the friendships you’ve destroyed
To get intimately devoid
Escape pods you’ve deployed

Song to say good bye
You’re smooth-n-cool as a cacti
Though I may rely on a hairtrigger
You know where I stand do-or-die

This is a different position now that I’m on a mission
It requires discipline and grace
Get the pliers apply to my past waste, baby you’ve been replaced
Trace one step at a time to keep my pace

The eye has closed, don’t look again
You cartoon haunt of estrogen
The mixed messages regimen
Thwarted with my pen

Song to say good bye
You’re smooth-n-cool as a cacti
Though I may rely on a hairtrigger
You know where I stand do-or-die

This is a different position now that I’m on a mission
It requires discipline and grace
Get the pliers apply to my past waste, baby you’ve been replaced
Trace one step at a time to keep my pace

So as I sit here wishin’ and I start the ignition
Feel the tires unmire and roll along
I’m rewired to say so long in song

Song to say good bye
Deported from my nuclei
Though I may rely on a hairtrigger
I move on from this ennui
