Why do you always lie to me?
Was it the thousand wounds I left in your knee
It was never really a choice to me
Out here it's kill or be killed
Fight or flight
Constantly

I’m sorry
But every boxer needs a punching bag
And you’re the closest thing that I’ll ever have to that
I’m sorry

One look in the mirror and I’m sick
Maybe I’d stop punching
If you weren't such a dick
Here I go again
Why don't I ever just listen to my friends?
I’m sorry
But every boxer needs a punching bag
So every mean thing that I’ve ever said
I take it back

I refuse to hurt
So the punches invert
I stay inert
I accept these blows
Break my jaw
Eviscerate my nose

… and I never know
Where any of this ever comes from
… and I am sorry
I truly am
But sometimes
I have to punch my closest friends
I'm sorry
(Eviscerate my nose)
I’m sorry
(Eviscerate my nose)
I’m sorry
Eviscerate my nose
