lyrics

burn your tongue, and let your lungs cough the cancer out.
see the boils on your face. let them suppurate.
get a bandaid, a blade, and some antiseptic.
pick your favorite and scrape.
rip a bloodless hole until it's frayed, cut away.
carve it off your face and cut the vein.
let it drain, drenched in medication.
let the high fade away.
nurse a nervous headache, and you will find the gift of desperation.
and you will scream into the carnage:
"if you love me, then why wouldn't you sink down with me?"
and you will open up a window in slackjawed pain,
and the stinging winds will slice across your necrotic face.
and like a shambling apparition draped in a chain,
a loner at the door will peek in and say,
"i hate to say i told you so, but i told you so.
i hate to say i told you so... but well, you know".
scratch and pick at the stitches,
and the green secretions sickly sweet, like gangrene, drain perpetually.
cut the string. let it swing like a marionette,
like lepers streaming through the arches, to sing into the carnage.
