Hold my heart in your cold clenched fist and squeeze until you bleed me dry

Take what you will of my life force and leave the pain behind

You would take it all from me and only leave my suffering

What not take my hope, you demon, you are welcome to that now

You my idol

You my teacher

You my laughter

You my crying

You my daybreak

You my sunset

You my living

You my dying

Twist the threads much tighter and to you my last breath will belong

You will know my broken form will honour you forevermore

I would give my life to you, my dreams, my talents are forgotten

What a trophy to inscribe beside the ones who've gone before

Lace your kiss with cyanide and plant it when I contradict you

Razor-sharp are fingernails that trace a line to yielding pulse

Shower me with useless gifts, I'll drown in insincerity

Lover, take your love away and use it on yourself
