once twice sometimes thrice i come for you with a stanley knife

nicely nicely come on excite me i wanna feel your metal slice me

feel defile oh so dumb i see you hurt now here i come



i'm silent i'm violent be still while i have my will

i'm soon hot soon cold

a mismarriage of velvet how i feel it

my skin is aflame my mind is lame

you twist this knot and feed my pain



slice slice here comes the knife

slice slice here comes the knife



feed the fire on my funeral pyre you're the pearl i'm the pain

you're the lesion i'm the lesion i hear a great big noise inside my head

a squinting eye a squeezing finger bide the hurts with a chink of lead

there's a fear filled blood red sea in my mind a pound of lies is my legacy

gimme the space and i'll show you the pace

you're the fish i'm the foul meat in the middle

turn up the fire put the flesh on the griddle

you're the place that holds me in its spell

that holds me like the native place

to you i talk, walk and stalk

the seaboard secret strikes the line

the land i burn is all that's mine

burn your lover

burn your shrine

fill my cup and bide my time

i'm the silent cyclone the silent medicine

this killin' is fillin' my cup to brimmin'

you obey while i betray

i taste and die heave and cry

yearn for one more reddened eye

the tree the flower and the seed

will sapporate and dry and bleed

your secret skin will spell my name

your secret skin will shelter me

your secret skin will smell of me

your secret skin will hide this

shame
