How rude of me to assume that

You wanted to get better

How rude of me to assume that

We'd do it all together

When you're out here

Lying through your sweater

~

I just saw it

The hallow in your eyes

And with that comes

My demise

If I stay with you

We both know its true

~

Painful twisted words

Stuck on to my forehead

Stab me with your knife

Put my corpse in your closet

~

Beat me till I'm blue

Eat my heart for dinner

Hold me till I'm numb

The last breath on my tongue

Shove me down the stairs

To break all my bones

~

Slice me up

Sew me back together

Make things with my skin

Drink my blood at supper
