you’re far too close for comfort now
yet far too far to do anything about it
you cut my hair, so I shaved my head
I will not lay to waste inside your images
well you took my money
took sweet relief
took my body
and my blood
like a communion piece
told me I was strong
when I was getting weaker
told me I was wrong
when I had the answer
so I kept my quiet
that’s all I’d left
but you sour silence
spoke me bitter inside of it
I was all alleged
wrapped in fabrications
without a word
my name is stained
from your becoming
even when you’re gone
you’re still here
in the other room
collecting all my fears
tasting all my friends
that you’d spit out
ignoring all
of my banishment counts
then you held yourself
hostage from me
in a bloody dress
you made me
bandage your wounds
with the scissor arm
around my ear
you ask
“are you scared of me?”
don’t you know?
don’t you know of course I am
singing ouroboros at the mint
for many years, did we really kiss
or was I just a tail? just a tale?
singing ouroboros at the mint
for many years, did we really kiss
or was I just a tail? hell!
I was living it
but you’re far too close (the worst I've ever felt)
for comfort now (was the way you wanted me)
yet far too far to do anything about it (to feel, to feel, to feel)
so you cut my hair? (the worst I’ve ever felt)
so I shaved my head! (was the way you wanted me)
I will not lay to waste in your false image (to feel, to feel, to feel)
