Desire

Partake
Of the scraps the past has cast aside
Forsake
All other forms of suicide
Accept nothing but the slowest
Desire
The colors in which I can hide

Don't touch me, I'm sickly
They warned me that I'll fall apart on contact
One embrace to disgrace
The unceremonious fate I've been given
I'd say it's worth it

The body fights the mind
My stomach is on fire
My muscles tie themselves in knots
And my chest is given wings and weight
Desire is pain
Desire

Your eyes
The scourge of which I look into
Defy
The cynical and jaded slew
Of coming days
Desire
The carrier of life anew

Don't touch me, I'm dirty
I'll warn you of the present danger
Of contamination of the soul
By my own bitterness

The body fights the mind
My stomach is on fire
My muscles tie themselves in knots
And my chest is given wings and weight
Desire is pain
Desire

Don't touch me, I'm healing
Don't look this way lest I be stricken

The body fights the mind
My stomach is on fire
My muscles tie themselves in knots
And my chest is given wings and weight
Desire is pain
Desire
