about

"Canker Blossom" is a Shakespearean insult. It is a diseased flower. Flower, meaning vagina. Diseased, meaning corrupt. A Canker Blossom is a putrid, wilting, wasted young girl.

lyrics

Sometimes you will never win.
Sometimes you will never win.
Get up, and you try again.
But, sometimes you will never win.

When I was a high school cheerleader,
I don’t think I saw you there
when all the girls thought I was prettier
with spearmint gum in my hair.
When I was a high school cheerleader,
where were you when I was bored
and throwing my shoes at the players
when they called me a stupid whore?

Hang around for something great from all the pain, and yet, you stick around. Can’t explain it, locked away from anything and anyone, living like an alien: waiting your whole life away.
Hang around self-deprecating while you’re waiting. Yet, you stick around. Intoxicating, calculating when the pig blood’s pouring down, and why they’re still hanging around. Wait and you got it-- now, watch it slip away.


Sometimes you will never win.
Sometimes you will never win.
Get up and you try again.
But, sometimes you will never win.
And, you hope it’s for the better,
and your sunny days get wetter
And, you hope it’s for the better,
Still, your sunny days get wetter.
And, soon there will come a day
where you learn to love the rain
And, you hope it’s for the better, yeah,
and you hope it’s for the better,
and it sucks,
and it soaks.
