Words

1st February 2025

Cut me, cut me, cut me, cut me with your tongue
And show me, show me, show me the bad things I've done
Reach into your chest
Pull out the words that tame me best

Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me why you ran
Why was I so easy to abandon
I'm sick of your pretence
Your words don't make any fucking sense

Your cold eyes peer into my soul
What is it they see

Show me what it is you're hiding
In the space between

Hit me, hit me, hit me, hit me with your toys
Mix a glass and I will drink the poison
Concoct a tale for me
Anything to cure this misery

Your cold eyes peer into my soul
What is it they see

Show me what it is you're hiding
In the space between
Words that you don't mean

Cut me, cut me, cut me, cut me with your tongue
Cast me with your stones of wisdom
The truth will set us free
Don't you know your silence is killing me
