I think you revel in my fear I think you bathe in it Like you were Elizabeth And it was blood And by some ********** of logic It kept you young I think you want me Like a fish in a bowl Swimming circles In the space you rent to me I am the tenant of your uncertainty Forever taxed, and begging for the scraps You’d leave I think you smile When I fall for your snares With lustful eyes that raises both suspicion And hairs As I gnaw my leg, through bone and vanity To run away, to be free As you yell from behind, “you’ll be mine for eternity I am the entrance and the exit You will see, oh, you will see” I think every word you’d speak Was just to show the point of your teeth and tongue still sharp enough to puncture my bagpipe lungs mournfully humming along “let me be, oh, let me be”
