Bounce by Melodie Yvonne

The rising sun’s so bright
I gotta hide from it ‘til noon
I’m sodomized by the weather
And face raped by your perfume

My eyeballs poppin’ out
But yet my skull is cavin’ in
And right now there’s just not a chemical
That wouldn’t be my friend

Go ahead and talk your shit
‘Cause you can’t take my pain
Go ahead and talk your shit
‘Cause it comes ’round again
Go ahead and talk your shit
‘Cause you’re the one that’s drowning
So just go ahead and talk your shit
‘Til karma bounces ’round me

I’m drivin’ many miles just tryin’
To keep myself from dying
I’m feeling like I’m gonna fail
And I just can’t stop crying

Every single noise you make
Exacerbates my pain
So I’m not quite sure we’ll make it through
This kind of day again

Go ahead and talk your shit
‘Cause you can’t take my pain
Go ahead and talk your shit
‘Cause it comes ’round again
Go ahead and talk your shit
‘Cause you’re the one that’s drowning
So just go ahead and talk your shit
‘Til karma bounces ’round me
