“The Instructions Are Always In Japanese” (Tattoos)
Run my hands along the outside
the smooth clear exterior of these jars
each one contains different contents
I have bottled up my fears and collected my tears
shelved them so I could preserve the memories
my mind doesn’t work like a steel trap anymore
I have burned out the brain cells that cling to my past
things that I enjoyed when I was younger
all escape me now that I am older
the batteries are never included
the instructions are always in Japanese
they leave you high and they leave you dry
if your lucky a small piece of pleasure
will fall between their knees
and your future will look sunny just for a day
so if the sun blesses your rainstorm you better pay
you better pay close attention
because the chances of it coming around again
are pretty fucking slim my friend
the batteries are never included
the instructions are always in Japanese
yeah I suggest to all who care to listen
take a trip inside your mind and find a place to hide
we all know your going to need it
when the assembly that’s required
is over your head
look at yourself in the mirror next time you get the chance
and realize that the person gawking back at you
is the only one who will ever listen
and realize that the person gawking back at you
is the only one with an opinion that matters
so dye your hair and pierce your ears and cover your scars
with tattoos with tattoos with tattoos
the batteries are never included
the instructions are always in Japanese
the batteries are never included
the instructions are always in Japanese
the batteries they are never never included
the instructions may as well be in Aramaic
you wont neither understand nor comprehend a word of them
the batteries are never included
the instructions are always in Japanese
look at yourself in the mirror next time you get the chance
and realize that the person gawking back at you
is the only one who will ever listen
and realize that the person gawking back at you
is the only one with an opinion that matters
so dye your hair and pierce your ears and cover your scars
with tattoos with tattoos with tattoos
with tattoos with tattoos
with tattoos…….
