lyrics

Greed is what kills us inside.
And we don't even know, what we wanted all along.
Jealousy is the bastard child of greed.
And it's what sticks inside. I forgot what I believe.

I see them all around me. I see them everywhere.
Holding hands and smiling fondly with every love and lust struck stare.
It makes me want to puke. It makes me want to bleed.
I don't want to be like that yet, here I want to be.

It doesn't make much sense. No, it doesn't work at all.
For someone socially awkward, as fucking ugly as me.
People say I'm nice. People say I'll find someone.
But they're wrong all the time. What will make them right now?

It's what we need. It's what we seek.
It seems so bleak so it's blood we leak.
The third wheel's fine until it multiplies.
Baker's Dozen, will come inevita-

-bility, it's my worst enemy.
These things I cannot change.
It's a God damn destiny. Or should I say fate?
What will become of me? Please help me.

What the future holds in-store I try to run away
Worse comes to worst get on my knees and pray.
Don't think it's gonna work. Don't think it's worth a shot.
But when you're out of options. What else is it you got?

Hope is all I have when reality hits back home.
Perhaps the only promise is the sweet release of death.
I tell myself one day that love reciprocates.
But right now I'm singled out. Envious of who I'm not.

It's what we need. It's what we seek.
It seems so bleak so it's blood we leak.
The third wheel's fine until it multiplies.
Baker's Dozen, they surround.

It's what we need. It's what we seek.
It seems so bleak so it's blood we leak.
The third wheel's fine until it multiplies.
Baker's Dozen, they surround me.

It's what we need. It's what we seek.
It seems so bleak so it's blood we leak.
The third wheel's fine until it multiplies.
Baker's Dozen, they surround me.
