This poison you feed me This head wound Inflicting and compounding; You will never understand You size me up In funhouse mirrors, Tape measures all stretched out Because you hate me And so I cry I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry I’m so big I want to be small Teach me to be small Or, instead, Teach me not to have a face So you do not see me anymore Please The sweetness of a dehydrated body, Tired, weak, blameless, Addicted Downing only buckets of saccharine hatred It smells like cancer and bubblegum, And that’s just as well It tastes like Blood

The Song of Small and Pretty
This poison you feed me This head wound Inflicting and compounding; You will never understand You size me up In funhouse mirrors, Tape measures all stretched out Because you hate me And so I cry I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry I’m so big I want to be small Teach me to be small Or, instead, Teach me not to have a face So you do not see me anymore Please The sweetness of a dehydrated body, Tired, weak, blameless, Addicted Downing only buckets of saccharine hatred It smells like cancer and bubblegum, And that’s just as well It tastes like Blood
