i am inside out
i am twisted upside down
you reached inside with tapping fingers
and ripped something open
snapping apart like a twig
and i would be scrambling to shut it all up
if i didn't need it so damn bad
my god, i am terrified
(of what you can do)
pry me open with river stone eyes
and hold me still with singing voice
talk about suicide like an old lover
someone i am trying to break up with
but i know you hold him like a small bird
in your ribcage
and i wish i could pry you open too
and snap it's fucking neck
my god, i am terrified
(of what you might do)
