I'd Rather Be with Them - Marika Hackman

[Verse 1]
Stale tongues, the words have gone
And all we've left is smoky spit and heavy lungs
And I don't want to talk it through
But my head hurts and I hate you

[Chorus 1]
So make me throw up
I know that you will
And wake up my mother and tell her I'm ill

[Post-Chorus 1]
It's all coming out now, black, brown
Wine and bile

[Verse 2]
Salty eyes, and frothy lips
Your teeth are bared and champing at the f_cking bit
Leaning on the window
When you point down and you let go

[Chorus 2]
You say: "look at the people
Crawling like insects
All over the pavements"

[Post-Chorus 2]
I'd rather be with them
'Cause I just hate this room, it smells like you

[Verse 3]
Leave it on, I like this song
When it ends, I really must be getting on
And the needle clicks after an hour
And you look back and the door slams

[Bridge]
I'm so f_cking heartless
I can't even cry
I've opened my body, it's hollow inside

So ring up my parents
And tell them I'm dead
And say how you left me and f_cked with my head

[Outro]
And I just hate your hair, and the clothes you wear
And I just love your hair, and the clothes you wear
