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 breasts 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
