about

how hard? do you need me to hurt you?
born with a warning, daylight, dead noon
i- i broke a seal or something’s come loose.
man the ground’s opening up, might as well refill my cup, i-
(don’t think you know what you got into)
scaled the wrong hill, is marble too smooth?
you’ve said my teeth are much too sharp for such pretty lips,
but you still want to run fingers down my tongue?

i'll tell you something-
see the flesh and know my flesh
where it’s worst and where it’s best
when it won’t stand the test
you leave just another bruise
see the flesh and know the flesh
clever knows that knowing’s best
what it is, not what it says
might leave just another bruise

i see you sparking, don’t you burn true?
collect the ashes like i came to-
cause ain’t no spots on me, but the marring you teach,
i’m the wick you weaved, i am-
the kind of smoke you like to watch climb, yeah-
thick and stinging, leaving you blind.
so you can’t leave me alone, swift you throw those stones,
picking art from the bones, but now i know to

see the flesh and know my flesh
clever knows that knowing's best
when it won’t stand the test
you leave just another bruise
see my flesh, you know my flesh
where it's worst and where it's best,
what it is not what it says,
might leave just another bruise
(like you do)
