tears for breakfast

you set my bed on fire

i like the drops rolling on your cheeks

cry for me

beg for me

devour me

die for me

my teeth fell one by one and i can't smile anymore

tears for lunch

don't wake me up

i don't want to see your fangs

can you see my face in your mind?

i couldn't breathe

i drowned in my sleep

and wrenched my eyes

no tears for dinner

your throat has a hole in it and your clothes are slit

your hair is shaved and your face is dead

you're not that pretty anymore are you?

that beauty of yours is long gone

only your frozen heart remains

is he still in love with you now?

invisible monster

your wedding gown is stained by your shot leg

said you could read me like a book

i've torn the pages to become a stranger

i sit back and look at you

you're miserable

you're pathetic

but i won't shed another tear

i would have let you lead me to the deepest of abysses if it meant i could hold your hand

and i will thank you again while you slice my throat in two

i try to sleep seeing you in my dreams where you love me too

lifeless words with lifeless meanings

staring into the bleeding white pigeon's eye

why don't you want me here with you?

hell used to be a part of heaven by your side

first thing in the morning and you swallow them like candies

clearing your hair from the sink

catatonic

forever looking for a truce

you can't put your arms around a memory

but can you put your arms around me?

asleep in the tub

the feeling of your knife dancing along my skin woke me up

screaming like a little child

nobody's gonna save you from the flames

rise and rise higher

they set the house on fire

i swallowed the snakes coming out of your mouth

cleaned your bleeding nostrils

as the mean old jewelled moon stared down at you

she's choking but i'm not entirely sure

it's leaking

the smoke in her lungs got the alarm to ring

are you asleep

are you asleep

are you asleep?

the artificial lights of heavens in your hospital bed

sitting there looking pretty

smoking uselessly thin cigarettes

fell asleep on the taped pattern of the ****** scene

twenty-seven stabs

shrunken ribs in filthy sheets

the clergymen sang your name in echoing prayers

your wedding pictures are a horror movie

shotgun once

shotgun twice

does your husband look at you when you wear your satin and lace?

he hasn't seen what i've seen

running away in your gown

forever fantasising of what we could have been

once

twice

flash. strike a pose

flash. you're photographed

flash. swallow this

flash. next thing you know you're propped up on stage

flash. inhale that

flash, flash, flash

next think you know you are the hottest chick in town

flash. strike another pose, give me glamorous

give me face, give me attitude, give me bones

flash. you're too much like this

not enough like that. flash again

next thing you know you are replaced

being perfect only lasts for a while

flash. where did your brightness go?

did the mean industry take it away from you?

flash. drink up, smoke more, eat less

give me body, give me fantasy, give me your soul

flash. nosebleeds, paranoia, sickness, flash again

did you get enough yet? is this what you wanted?

you had it right at your pretty feet, keep your composure, show a good posture

catwalks, magazines, wooers, fanciness, couture and nice makeup, isn't it what you wanted?

the superstar, the *******, the shiniest between all of the pretty, petty girls

next thing you know you are disfigured and tossed away, being ideal never lasts a lifetime honey

spiralling down, haven't you got enough?

flash, flash, flash, flash.

he looks at me with his big eyes

they talk to me

they say

come on

take my hand

follow me

the night's old and her bones are shrunken

bleached on the beach

come on

they repeat

come here

don't go back on the cemetery road

stay with us

we're waiting for you

the feast can't begin otherwise

there'll be wine and dionysius above us

uncovered ******* and voluptuous legs

time will stop and the nymphs will keep you with us

don't leave so soon

come on

take my hand

follow us
