Tragedy; Chlorine Seeping From The Corners Of Her Eyes.
Never quite got the hang of it.
D.e.v.e.s.t.a.t.i.o.n.
Goodbye was a grenade away,
Laced with formaldehyde,
Baby let me watch you de-teri-or--ate.
Lapsed into a blissful state of
corrosive comatose,
withering away in my
numbered days.
Feeling oh so clad in my
pinstripe pants and my
dark-as-night overcoat.
Well sugar,
would you hold my purse?
And if you happen to shake it,
you'll be so sweetly detonated.
N-i-t-r-o-g-l-y-c-e-r-i-n.
I'm a sleeper,
oh darlin', dreamer.
Asphixiate me in
my useless state
of brain-dead splendor.
F.a.i.r.y.t.a.l.e
Lover,
Bruise my
already battered
body,
and erase the burns from my neck.
[Rope Burns Don't Wash Away.]
L-a-c-e-r-a-t-i-o-n.
Baby,
be my guardian.
Leave your loving contusions
upon my porcelain skin,
mirror shadows on my face
from your wandering hands.
[Good Things Never Last Forever.]
