Purple mountains purple
Circles purple eyelids
Purple wrist

In the name of our failing country, tomorrow
Night will be spent floating in and out of realization
With candles and fireworks exploding about my head

Happy fourth, every \ body

I'd like to be a jumpsuit
  so I could wrap myself around you
       in an endless hug.

I was given a new heart tonight
trying something new
I've had so many hearts in one life
I'm hoping this next one will do

I was born with a heart of crystal
so innocent, so pure
until one day it slipped and fell
and shattered upon the floor

So I was given a heart of plastic
one that wouldn't break
but I met that adolescent heartthrob
who's fire melted my heart away

After heartache's call came my heart of granite
it's fireproof after all
until it chipped and cracked and started to split
when adult life came to call

I bought myself a heart of diamonds
so sharp, so strong
was gonna cut my way through this life
but I cut till all was nigh gone

Depression brought me a gift, a heart of stone
heavy and cold, it felt fake
I kicked that heart while I walked along
until I ran into a lake

I skipped my heart across the lake, but I should'a known
your love ran too wide
and your touch ran too deep to skip this stone
And now that is why

I was given a new heart tonight
I'm hoping this one will do
Its soft and comfortable and feels alright
Because it was given by you

Wine comes in at the mouth
And love comes in at the eye;
That's all we shall know for truth
Before we grow old and die.
I lift the glass to my mouth,
I look at you, and I sigh.

Just a few nights ago I had a dream,
Vivid and bright, like reality.
You grabbed my hand and held it firmly,
I pulled away, but you didn't let go.
When I woke I felt a burning that had melted my core
And I was utterly alone.
It was a simple gesture really,
But enough to remind me of that hollow place
Where you should be.

Use me.
Do it now. Quickly.

No, I don't love you.
I don't want to.

Hit me, hurt me.
Pick me apart piece by piece,

I need it.

Tear into me, I dare you.
I want to be left ******.

Stop the "gentle"
Stop the "care"

I want rough.
I want pain.

I need it.
