I didn’t ask for an autopsy
Yet here you are, pulling me apart
You weigh what is in my heart
With a broken scale
Yank out my intestines like a rope
Because you don’t have the guts
To turn the scalpel on yourself
You curl up on the table
Hide what’s inside from examination
While laying me bare for all to see
