THE BLEEDING HEART OF CEMENT

I thought that we'd be bound forever
because all opposites attract.
But my agoraphobic wet dream
is your claustrophobic panic attack.

It's so fair:

Stare into the bleeding heart of cement.

How does it bleed? I don't know.
Where will you go now? I don't care.
And as the ties are severed the solder melts
and quickly disappears.

And at the feast of anorexics
you made a toast to being thin.
At the time I was just bulemic
I had no name-tag but they still let me in.

It's so fair:

Stare into the bleeding heart of cement.

How does it bleed? I don't know.
Where will you go now? I don't care.
And as the ties are severed the solder melts
and quickly disappears.

Release me. But don't set me free.

There's such a surplus of concern
that it's a thrill to waste it.
Hold my hand each bridge.
Forever: I can almost taste it.

I had this horrible vision
that everything wound up okay.
Okay's for assholes and losers.
I'd rather burn out than rot out that way.

It's so fair:

Stare into the bleeding heart of cement.

How does it bleed? I don't know.
Where will you go now? I don't care.
And as the ties are severed the solder melts
and quickly disappears.

Disappears.
Disappears.
Disappears.
Disappears.
Disappears.
Disappears.
