Sulphur Rodents

Trembling, tried and terrified
Spell cast with open eyes
To greet and feed me
With a smile you mean and a poison you surely don’t
Rushing like rats through my wretched veins
Ever faster, promise racing
To bring some foul salvation
To my weakening carnal cage
Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy
Spit into wounds that would burn, had I know
Burns of misplaced ill affection
Such a sweet addiction
Disintegrating grace
Eating through my weakening carnal cage
Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy
Spit into wounds that would burn, had I know
If I could pinpoint a place where I can still feel you
Would you cut it out of me?
Would you please just cut it out of me?
Deny me, get it over with
Do us all a favor, see if I care
Misplace me and I’ll grow a shadow
In someone else’s life, for all I care
Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy
Spit into wounds that would burn, had I know
I fall back in line
Pushed, pulled
And await my time
