[Verse]
Pull my tongue out, rip my head off
Paint the galaxy with what you find inside
How'd you like to grab on where our wings should be
And pull each other open wide?
Been thinking being trapped alive in amber
Wouldn't be an awful way to die
Little spider, little spider, look me in the eye
Hover over me and smother me
Don't let me draw another breath tonight
We only get one shot at being torn to pieces
I think we could get it right
It's been a boring couple years
And I could use a good obliteration now

[Interlude]
Black hole eyes
The first time I looked in your eyes
You sucked me into the void
I look forward to being destroyed
Black hole eyes

[Outro]
Fuck me up
Fuck me up
Fuck me up
Come on, fuck me up
Fuck me up
Come on, fuck me up
(Black hole eyes)
Fuck me up
Fuck me up
Fuck me up
Come on, fuck me up
Fuck me up
Come on, fuck me up
(Black hole eyes)

A successful slam poet turned rapper, Watsky first gained attention through ‘Russell Simmons’ HBO Def Poetry,’ and a later burst of viral success for his fast rapping. At every turn, Watsky has refused to be pigeonholed, following up his speed rap success with 2013 LP Cardboard Castles, an eccentric ode to creativity, and 2014’s Anderson. Paak-produced All You Can Do. After a hiatus to work on new material, Watsky pivots again, this time to prose, returning simultaneously with the essay collection How To Ruin Everything, published by Plume/Penguin-Random House, of which Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda writes, “funny, subversive […] you find yourself nodding your head in wonder and recognition.” How To Ruin Everything debuted in the New York Times best-selling list. In total, he has created five studio albums and two live albums. Watsky released his fifth album, x INFINITY August 2016, describing it as his most ambitious project yet. Most recently, in January of 2019, he released a short album called Complaint.
