i threw the carcass of your caring
solemnly down the cellar staircase,
locked the door & clogged its airways
& cautioned the corpse of the consequences
of burning bridges & building fences
before i slit its lips to ribbons
& dared it to mumble love again
ohh so the feeling bubbled up did it??
no wait here comes hate in its midst
one more final, lifeless twitch
before i collapse your cranium's measurements

i threw the carcass of your caring
solemnly down the cellar staircase,
locked the door & clogged its airways
& cautioned the corpse of the consequences
of burning bridges & building fences
before i slit its lips to ribbons
& dared it to mumble love again
ohh so the feeling bubbled up did it??
no wait here comes hate in its midst
one more final, lifeless twitch
before i collapse your cranium's measurements
