Today Is the Day

Blood in the sink there is no rival
But clean white sheets
To your friends in the bible
If you wash your face make it red
Take off your socks before you get in bed
It’s not the day it’s night that I dread, thinking
Not this time not this way
As a hot bullet rattles in your empty head
Not this time not this way
You’re maybe going to lose you life today
Kiss me now or never again
Brush your hair then count to ten
Beige bath towel a fountain pen
And folding chairs for the other men
What will you say when it all begins?
Not this time not this way
As a hot bullet rattles in your empty head
Not this time not this way
You’re maybe gonna make me mad today
I can see the strain in your eyeballs now
As you cross the room take a bow
Sorry it just won’t work out somehow
A few more minutes the time allows
Your naked legs it’s this night that I dread, screaming
Not this time not this way
As a hot bullet rattles in your empty head
Not this time not this way
You’re maybe gonna make me mad today
Blood in the sink
There is no rival
But clean white sheets
For your friends in the bible
