I’ve got a book of matches
\nI’ve got a can of kerosene
\nI’ve got some bright ideas involving you and me
\nI don’t blame you for walking away
\nI’d do the same if I saw me
\nI shat the bed and laid there in it
\nThinking of you wide awake for days
\nWide awake for days
\nAnd I found you tongue-tied in my twisted little brain
\nYou couldn’t crack a smile
\nI didn’t catch your name
\nI don’t blame you for walking away
\nI’d do the same if I saw me
\nI swear it’s not contagious
\nIn four short steps we can erase this
\nStep one — slit my throat
\nStep two — play in my blood
\nStep three — cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
\nStep four — stop off at Edgebrook Creek and rinse those crimson hands
\nYou took me hostage and made your demands
\nI couldn’t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
\nI’m like a broken record
\nI’ve got a needle scratching me
\nIt injects the poison of alcohol I.V.
\nI don’t blame you for walking away
\nI’d do the same if I saw me
\nI swear it’s not contagious
\nI swear to God it’s not contagious
\nStep one — slit my throat
\nStep two — play in my blood
\nStep three — cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
\nStep four — stop off at Lake Michigan and rinse those crimson hands
\nYou took me hostage and made your demands
\nI couldn’t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one
\nThis could be love – love for fire
\nThis could be love – love for fire
\nThis could be love – love for fire
\nThis could be love for fire forevermore
\nStep one — slit my throat
\nStep two — play in my blood
\nStep three — cover me in dirty sheets and run laughing out of the house
\nStep four — stop off at Berkeley Marina and rinse those crimson hands
\nYou took me hostage and made your demands
\nI couldn’t meet them so you cut off my fingers, one by one<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
