Standard (EADGBE)

I’m a larva wrapped in silk

 i am dying in burning flesh

 let me out, let me ache

 let me out, let me ache and itch

 get me out of this suit

 i go to a funeral every day

 i follow these people around

 i follow these people like a rat’s tail

 i carry their caskets, i sing them good night

 they’re better off without me

beauty is poisonous

disruptive

heaven must be an iron rose

Unfolding

 oh, let me in, let me out, let me in, let me out!

this is a retirement

 from plumbing the veins of rats and kings

 let the stars be my eyes then

 unchain the knuckles and latches, unbutton my wrists

 my skin so thin you can see black holes within

 my eyes so clear they light up the sky

 and sometimes i’ll bend into the silicone veil

 and enter this world again as a ghost

beauty is poisonous

disruptive

heaven must be an iron rose

Unfolding

 oh, let me in, let me out, let me in, let me out!
