You won’t love me tonight
I give into you so easily
but I give more to myself
a lonely love from the shelf

cold marble heart i own
it beats slow, quick quick slow
heartless some people said
i’ll paint my own room red

i’ve played the game fair
but cheated with fake dice
heart twisted by fate
and left alone i hate

lifes’s a window to the world
Can travel make you wise
I look through the bars
and up to the stars

I’ve no beauty to sew
just upside down hearts
I’m backwards or sick
ripping velvet prick

cut away at the hem
tear away at the seam
my fingers bleed
lips recede
