You got me feeling like my tongue is a machete
Each time I think of you, I'm sharpening the blade
Does that make me savage?
Say I'll never hurt you while I twist the knife again

While I twist the knife again
Something I was sad about
While I twist the knife again
Something I was sad about
While I twist the knife again
Something I was sad about

All I want is everything that ever was and ever will be
You can kill me if you think that that's too much to ask
But if you shoot, I want the world's greatest death scene
And the world's collected treasure shoved inside my diamond-studded cask
And yeah, I covet love
So when I went and told her that I loved her like I never loved another
It was burning in my marrow
I could not imagine how my world was gonna spin, but it spun
And I know, so did I
If you need me, I'll be hiding over there
'Cause I want my fucking privacy
But also sometimes I would like to really overshare
A silly golden chair
A throne to call my own, a home for my entitled ass
Where I can act like I don't care
Climb Rapunzel's hair and then be donezo
Or a dunce cap and a stool
An empty corner that a fool can sit and stare at
And think on how I hurt her
Murder, murder, murder
Murder, murder, murder

For whatever it's worth, I still hope that you're good
Just 'cause you can doesn't mean that you should

You got me feeling like my tongue is a machete

Does that make me savage?

You got me feeling like my tongue is a machete
Each time I think of you, I'm sharpening the blade
Does that make me savage?
Say I'll never hurt you while I twist the knife again

Watsky

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.
