I'm damp from soaking in my spite and I don't have a jacket. I'm dumb for eating up your crumbs and filling up on famine. Your hands      are death traps Your eyes      are road maps faking destinations. Making preparations      to sever me off spitefully...      lacerate me, sight unseen      Our town is an eraser, now, and you've made me into fade marks      Stayed quiet on the margins til I marked your words and got smart      Smarting heart and scabbing memories...Already! Let me peel it off           Let me peel it off. Destroy me and then peel it off. Street lights are laughing cruel again and I can't even blame them. Stupid, I drowned in the belief that believing was an agent. Your words      false star maps Your laughter?      A death trap-- A blooded incantation A prepared exhalation      So sever me off spitefully...      slash out my eyes so I can't see.                                       Claw me up, while I wait                                       tear every single atom                                                     I have                                                      in me                                                   from me      Our town is an eraser, now, and you've made me into fade marks      Stayed quiet on the margins til I marked your words and got smart      Smarting heart and scabbing memories...Already! Let me peel it off           Let me peel it off. Destroy me and then peel it off.

Ain't it just the pits?
