I put my heart on a string
and gave it to you
as a necklace
You hung it from the ceiling
and beat it half to death
like a ****** pinata
Wrapped it around your finger
and yanked it up and down
like a macabre yo-yo
I swallowed all of the pain and
it tasted like hairspray
like chewing up eggshells
like biting aluminum foil
like licking pennies
I don't even want my heart back
please just please **** it now
step on it wearing stilettos
I just want to be whispers in your mind
I want to be a spider on the back of your skull
I want the curse of remembrance upon your soul

I put my heart on a string
and gave it to you

You hung it from the ceiling
and beat it half to death
like a ****** pinata
Wrapped it around your finger
and yanked it up and down
like a macabre yo-yo
I swallowed all of the pain and
it tasted like hairspray
like chewing up eggshells
like biting aluminum foil
like licking pennies
I don't even want my heart back
please just please **** it now
step on it wearing stilettos
I just want to be whispers in your mind
I want to be a spider on the back of your skull
I want the curse of remembrance upon your soul
