Look at me - look me in the eye
and tell me that you hate me
Let me hear that beautiful emotion in your honeydew voice
and see it in your red-rimmed orbs
Take off your chains of affection
and unlock your silk-lined handcuffs
oh, how safe it was!
locked up in your casket of love
but I don't want safety (not your safety)
So give me your anger and loathing
and I'll peel away your rubbery touches
(hopefully someday the welts they left will heal)
Listen to my heartbeat
it's not in rhythm with yours anymore, is it?
Don't worry, it was mine that changed, not yours
maybe when your feelings change (like mine did)
we'll be linked again
I need that bit of my soul you have
I must have it back before I can be real again
and release my bitten tongue
I think that poisoned syringe is full
but I can't inject you until you puncture me
Now hate me, dearest, so that I can be.
