I want to scream when you go, cry for you to stay.
And when midnight strikes the clock, I pray.


'I love you' means the world to me, but I'm floating in a space bubble, full of air, about to pop.
I hold my breath under the blinding lights, hoping you'll turn them off.
And when the sun sets, I pray.

'I need you means the moon to me, but I'm high, high up in the sky, sitting on the clouds. Redesigned and born anew, my spirit searches dust and dirt for a new body, but only ashes and pens are found.

And when I close my eyes, I pray. I pray every night, every day, wanting to runaway. Wishing you'd be just as disgusted as I am with the view of myself and turn around. Please, I'm begging you, turn around. I'll hurt you. Don't look my way.

But everytime I pray, I can feel you, still latched onto me.
Everytime I pray, I can feel you, glued to my body.

Is this my punishment for leaving, daddy? I'm so sorry, daddy. This is what I get for defying the divine. Deer God, forgive me.

It would only be fair if I smiled while you called me yours, claim me as yours and chain me. Put on my best dress and exorcise the ugly from me so my skin may be pretty for your eyes and hands only. To make my flesh look tasty.

Please come stare, I promise not to cry. Please touch and eat me, I promise not to die.
