   Bad Habit lyrics   biting keeps your words at bay 
tending to the sores that stay 
happiness is just a gash away 
when i open a familiar scar 
pain goes shooting like a star 
comfort hasn't failed to follow so far... 
 
and you might say it's self-indulgent 
you might say its self-destructive 
but, you see, it's more productive 
than if i were to be healthy 
 
& pens and penknives take the blame 
crane my neck & scratch my name 
but the ugly marks 
are worth the momentary gain... 
when i jab a sharpened object in 
choirs of angels seem to sing 
hymns of hate in memorandum 
 
and you might say it's self-indulgent 
and you might say it's self-destructive 
but, you see, it's more productive 
than if i were to be happy 
 
and sappy songs about sex and cheating 
bland accounts of two lovers meeting 
make me want to give mankind a beating 
 
and you might say it's self-destructive 
but, you see, i'd kick the bucket 
sixty times before i'd kick the habit 
 
and as the skin rips off i cherish the revolting thought 
that even if i quit 
there's not a chance in hell i'd stop 
and anyone can see the signs 
mittens in the summertime 
thank you for your pity, you are too kind 
 
and you might say its self-inflicted 
but you see that's contradictive 
why on earth would anyone practice self destruction? 
 
and pain opinions are sitcom feeding 
they dont know that their minds are teething 
makes me want to give mankind a beating 
 
i'm tried bandages and sinking 
i've tried gloves and even thinking 
i've tried vaseline 
i've tried everything 
and no-one cares if your back is bleeding 
they're concerned with their hair receding 
looking back it was all maltreating 
every thought that occurred misleading 
 
makes me want to give myself a beating....
