Of Blood and Wine

Light the fuse And break bread with the one you keep slighty bemused Make you peace As you piece together platitudes for the deceased Bray For blood and closure For hope and wine Forgiveness clandestine Induced ennui I will save for myself naught but a fraction (Could be better) Could be worse Just ignore where the skin starts to bubble and burst Dance through the storm Your only options are to drown or to die of thirst Bray For blood and closure For hope and wine Forgiveness clandestine Induced ennui Rats heads Rats heads As a type of control and couture Rats heads Rats heads As a token of gratitude They've never tried to speak They've never deigned to listen What we took as mistique Was fucking noxious obsolescence That part of me that seeks something Of a vestibule to funnel torture into truth Slice the sick in me out Sway Sway Sway Sway Such a lacklustre formative day Stay Away And let slip the dogs as they Bray For blood and closure For hope and wine Forgiveness clandestine Induced ennui Expose the wound And let leak an inkling of verbal refuse Sink the blade Into the body of the babe that you wanted to turn into Burn As I breathe only fire can help me Burn As I breathe only fire can help me
