The emptiness Stretches wide In the pit of me In the pit of the night Cracking open a second Bottle Of wine I want something so badly I squeeze my fists hard So hard To subdue it To soothe it It doesn't come It doesn't come The dragon stretches Its long neck The raven its black Feathered wings Why do I need something So ******* Badly? Myself high up on a barstool Bait them Bait them in Give me them, pull them in I want them Teeth and nails, here's The skin Of my shoulders, my neck Something alive Slightly stinging In them In me My heart is singing Up there high On the barstool

Here's the skin
The emptiness Stretches wide In the pit of me In the pit of the night Cracking open a second Bottle Of wine I want something so badly I squeeze my fists hard So hard To subdue it To soothe it It doesn't come It doesn't come The dragon stretches Its long neck The raven its black Feathered wings Why do I need something So ******* Badly? Myself high up on a barstool Bait them Bait them in Give me them, pull them in I want them Teeth and nails, here's The skin Of my shoulders, my neck Something alive Slightly stinging In them In me My heart is singing Up there high On the barstool
