I loved you to death


Bury me with your guts With roses and marigolds And come back each month Come back when your old Bury me with your dignity And your pride Your stupid pride Let's make things clear it's nothing queer Your so homegrown It's nuclear And I'm choking I'm dying I'm losing hope And faith But then you're here Isn't insane I'm next to your body Your decomposing Your organs surround me Ain't it symbolic? The man will suffocate you Love will suffocate you Connections will slowly drown you But they say you're not living if you live alone
