Charcoal brings me wednesday
The taste and feeling of it
I am well-loved but bitter and dry
Touch me. Touch me. Touch me,
And I'll come alive.

I was born with a tangle in my line
So twist my nerves
And slash my eyes

What if life was different?
Then we'd be the celebrity center
Of the universe
For now we're just a botched trick
A messy job
A shattered eye to pass on by.
