lyrics

You shoot your gun right at me but your eyes are closed
How are you so oblivious to my vulnerability exposed
Your bullets pierce right through me but you never even knew me
And now it's too late to undo the tangled knot

(Chorus)
You're a polyglot
You have so many words that are weapons you can use against
Someone who's not
This monologue inside my head is the only bomb
That I've got
You're a polyglot

You like Luther only wanted to reform
But your sticks and stones started up a storm
My hopes were made of glass but then you chose to be an...
And now the nice lady is slowly sweeping them up into the trash

(Chorus)

Now there is blood gushing from my chest
Staining my polk-a-dot dress
No matter how much I try my best
No one will ever be. Impressed. I quit. This contest

(Chorus)
