There's a boy here lying quiet in my shadow like a prayer
He drips from every angle into colors that I wear
He wanders like a saint on predatory pilgrimage
With a grimace and a limp he puts his wrist against my cartilage
And I could separate these bones
I could pack them into prose
Or I could hold a cancer in my soul until it overflows
But there is only boy and breath
Gentle hand prints on my chest
Mouthing little darling, deepest, loveliest of sacrilege
This boy of filth, he's
Born of gods, he
Clutches at my flaws, he
Drags me from holocaust, he
Takes my limbs, he
Wraps them 'round him, he
Takes my shake
And takes my sick
And feeds me bread and then
These violent wall eyed dreams
That mite their way into my fear of me and mine
These wines and sugars in my blood, they mutter "Takes your claws and climb
The inch of every pale moon love
You one swore you'd pay nevermind"
When I am on the side of you
I'd say my gods were always lying
(Lying)
There's a girl pacing around me, proselytizing parasite
Her sick acidic logic ridicules the ancient rite
When her teeth break up on me like tiny cliffs of chalk
I crash into her canyon- lick the injuries she likes to mock
And I could cut her down to size, it's half as hard as compromise
Or I could watch a blind sleepwalker creep all sweet and nonethewise
But there is only girl and grin, curling up under my skin
Picture you and I forgetting why we let the other in
This judge of what, she's
Born of mud, she
Answers to no blood, she
Will not let me chew the cud
She spits and swells, she
Wears her wretched well, she
Holds my soul
With taxes, tolls
And takes it straight to hell
These violent wall eyed dreams that mite their way into my fear of me and mine
These wines and sugars in my blood
They mutter "Take your claws and climb
The inch of every rotten hate
I once swore I'd pay nevermind"
When I am on the side of you
You'd say your law was always lying
Your law, it must be lying
My Gods, they must be lying
(Lying)
