I am open now
The panic ran all around me
But I still remained calm
With the thought of a hint
That I should have questioned sooner

There are too many things to blurt out
In hopes of making you smile

In stripes of golden feathers
I must not let the black ones in
Their legs shaking me off
Every which way and that
****** me off
Snuffed me out

I pulled away from you
Just to see what you could do
Alone in the same way that
You put me there
With all the love still fresh off the bone

Bring all of my fans and their bottles
You will need my blood remember?

You shouldn't have asked
With the last few remaining breaths
That lay curdled up on my chest
The greatest fear had left me
I am closed now
Over.
