lyrics

I used all of my chances shooting unmatched glances
Shot a wad like a frog eating the fly that prances,
ballerina-toed dances, ‘round the lilies in the pond.

Took a boat through a moat circling Hurst Castle,
Lead me on to my death like the sheep and the cattle
Take my horns, saw them off like they’re ivory curls,
Ebony lies beneath their swirling keratin,
Bones so black they rot like oil in the ground.

I am your broken sadsack skeleton-boy.

Lose my breath at your breasts
Lose myself in the wind.
Lost my likeness in your mirrors,
Lost your love and lost your hand.

Knock me out with your pout, set my eyes on fire.
Set me up, let me down, make me feel like a liar.
I’m a fish out of water, gasping gut-wrenching gills.
Take your shit to the bank and cash out your bills.

So I’m your broken sadsack skeleton-boy,
Got a tumor for a head and a mouth so coy.
Screws are loose, so you wait for the noose,
Like a rat in a maze waiting for the prize.

So, play, play, play with your toy
Wreck him till he’s crooked and cracked
Trail his tears back up their tracks
And open up those hungry eyes -
Have the maggots hatched, is their birth as beautiful as mine?
