I'd like to
become see-through
For people to
know who
is hiding underneath
how lungs breathe
how bones shiver
of the stolen liver
throat that has to swallow hard
each broken promise shard
stomach digesting
loneliness from life's endless questing
these veins red and blue
this heart beating true
I wish to be see-through
see-through for you
Without it I'm sure
I look so pure
Til you see me sing the most beautiful song
with blood on my tongue

these veins red and blue
this heart beating true
I wish to be see-through
see-through for you
Without it I'm sure
I look so pure
Til you see me sing the most beautiful song
with blood on my tongue
