i would tear off my limbs
crawl in front of you
bow my head
and ask

- what more can i give you

and i would cut out my eyes
find my way to you
bow my head
and ask

- what more can i give you

and i would rip out my heart
serve it on a plate
bow down
and ask

- what more can i give you

no matter what you requested next
you would get it
and if you’d requested my life
i would be the happiest
to give it to you
to give it to the person
who owns
my body
heart and
soul

I believe in I
I relieve monotony by sterile and guarded eyes
I ingest a loftiness in peril when harder times
tear into my disguise
embarrassing how it thrives
this terrible caustic grind

I
Say the word as if it were ingrained upon the sky
as if the truth imbued it's self, a pain that you confide
as if I'm by your side
as if you could rely on a recession of my pride
as if you could rely

I
gently move aside
spend another night collecting threads to sow a life
as if you're on my mind
with seeds that need the light
as if I wouldn't cry when our attentions don't collide
a sit beside the fire lights a symptom of our lie
a gift of yours and mine
to lift a spirit high
To open up our eyes to see the riffs we could align

I
never look outside
the fault in that is mine

you may belong WITH him,
but you'll always belong TO yourself.
