little drummer boy

little drummer boy play your rhythm on my spine

let me be your snare, make music out of me

little drummer boy it’s been a long and lonely winter

and the heartbeat of your drum has got me through the coldest nights

little drummer boy oh won’t you bruise me with your drumsticks

break my bones and tear my skin, break my entire world apart

little drummer boy play your rhythm on my ribcage

leave my pale pink skin black and blue and purple and red

little drummer boy oh won’t you break me into pieces

for all i am to you is an instrument to be played
