Key: C major
Verse 1
I have drunk the poison
and your beautiful soul is no longer mine.
I have altered your heart.
You don't know it,
but it's left on my skin like
jellyfish stings.
My nipples crimson from the pain
and my lungs weak.
And every day I squeeze lemons
over the welts
and I think about how to die.
To burn out the lies.
There is no solace
and why should there be?
There is no refuge
and no halfway house.
The world outside has
taken on a dullness,
and my mind is a heap of rubble.
Darling, I didn't call you that enough.
I was so fucking self -sufficient.
The world is smaller,
the children in the park are sweeter,
and I am older than I've ever been.
Thin is your conscience,
my grandfather used to say
when slicing the bread with a half -smile.
Mine was thin as rice paper,
but now I could not digest
the wheat and the yeast.
It would stick in my throat and
kill me.
Maybe that is the answer.
