Sulphur Rodents

Trembling, tried and terrified

spell cast with open eyes

to greet and feed me

with a smile you mean and a poison you surely don't

Rushing like rats through my wretched veins

ever faster, promise racing

to bring some foul salvation

to my weakening carnal cage

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy

spit into wounds that would burn, had I know

Burns of misplaced ill affection

such a sweet addiction

Disintergrating grace

Eating through my weakening carnal cage

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy

spit into wounds that would burn, had I know

If I could pinpoint a place where I can still feel you

Would you cut it out of me?

Would you please just cut it out of me?

Deny me, get it over with

Do us all a favor, see if I care

Misplace me and I'll grow a shadow

in someone else's life, for all I care

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy

spit into wounds that would burn, had I know

I fall back in line

pushed, pulled

and await my time
