Cast the Bronze
[00:02.31] A little ink between my shoulder and my jaw
[00:06.02] Pour out a drink and sip it through a plastic straw
[00:09.93] Sink all my teeth into a million-dollar mold
[00:13.92] And have my name spelled out in gold
[00:18.17] Or could I stand to maybe show a little skin
[00:21.88] Tear all my clothes and patch ‘em up with safety pins
[00:26.10] Nobody warned me we’d get sick of centerfolds
[00:29.82] I’m getting bored or getting old
[00:33.00] So I don’t feed you my heart well enough
[00:37.26] But I don’t need any part of your love
[00:41.50] Go tell someone what you wish I would’ve done
[00:47.61] Make me bleed if you need to confirm that it’s something I can do
[00:53.19] And I’ll paint it red
[00:56.38] If you’re still unsure let me lie for a day
[01:00.10] Before they formally announce me dead
[01:03.55] When I’m gone, cast the bronze for the bust of my head
[01:08.07] To be displayed in the library
[01:12.58] Engrave that I gave my consent
[01:15.24] To be anything that anyone prefer I be
[01:21.08] Would it be wise to play this closer to the vest
[01:25.07] Apologize for being green or underdressed
[01:29.05] Do I imply that I’m just beautiful and blessed
[01:33.06] I try to care but just care less
[01:36.23] So you moan and compose a response
[01:39.95] But you don’t even know what you want
[01:44.73] Go tell someone what you wish I would’ve done
[01:50.58] Make me bleed if you need to confirm that it’s something I can do
[01:56.15] And I’ll paint it red
[01:59.34] If you’re still unsure let me lie for a day
[02:03.06] Before they formally announce me dead
[02:06.78] When I’m gone, cast the bronze for the bust of my head
[02:10.76] To be displayed in the library
[02:15.54] Engrave that I gave my consent
[02:18.19] To be anything that anyone prefer I be
[02:22.71] I can’t show you how I don’t know enough
[02:30.15] And I’ll just let you down
[02:35.46] Maybe that’s the chance you’ll take
[02:40.78] Make me bleed if you need to confirm that it’s something I can do
[02:46.62] And I’ll paint it red
[02:49.54] If you’re still unsure let me lie for a day
[02:52.58] Before they formally announce me dead
[02:56.29] When I’m gone, cast the bronze for the bust of my head
[03:00.82] To be displayed in the library
[03:05.07] Engrave that I gave my consent
[03:07.71] To be anything that anyone prefer I be
