Suffocate me
Drown me
Disfigure me
Make me feel semi-dead
And let me wish I met Death
Take and tackle me
Till there goes the flowing red.

Fight me
Slap me so I can feel your wrath
Pound me until I'm flat
And pick me up like a litter
And stream off the saltwater
Take me to your abattoir
And leave me harming myself.

Coat me with a hundred spikes
And offer me a thousand strikes
Converge Heaven and Hell
For I'm too weary to understand
That you're harming your own love
'Cause I lost my own voice—
So much better if I shall just shut up.
