I think I killed somebody But you can’t tell anybody It was just one simple body A soul of a nobody I had hands that ached to be claws And feet that dreamed to be saws I had eyes that sharpened into arrows And lips that sharpened into blades I had a tongue that was very splintered And hair of thickened rope It was the brain that leaked its poison It was the ******* from which one drank It was the heart that made one numb But it was the thighs that slit its neck I didn’t mean to do it Yet I just heard a secret It pounded at the bones in me My skin couldn’t keep it I never knew before then What was thicker than blood I think I killed somebody But you can’t tell anybody It was just one simple body A soul of a nobody

CLOSE YOUR LIPS AND SWALLOW
I think I killed somebody But you can’t tell anybody It was just one simple body A soul of a nobody I had hands that ached to be claws And feet that dreamed to be saws I had eyes that sharpened into arrows And lips that sharpened into blades I had a tongue that was very splintered And hair of thickened rope It was the brain that leaked its poison It was the ******* from which one drank It was the heart that made one numb But it was the thighs that slit its neck I didn’t mean to do it Yet I just heard a secret It pounded at the bones in me My skin couldn’t keep it I never knew before then What was thicker than blood I think I killed somebody But you can’t tell anybody It was just one simple body A soul of a nobody
