I was frozen to a wedding
The swing, the march, piano chords
Now I'm not sweating, I'm bloodletting
I'll go sledding, bleed some more
I'll make a train out of saucers and slashers
I'll aim for the fence, for the faster disaster
For the boy in the back who looks like me
Let's see if he knows how to dodge his history
I'm pulling off old skin
I'm breaking sawdust bones
I've got soap and stitches
I'm hunting a shadow
And now I've got no skin
And now I've got no bones
Just soap and some stitches
Four years worth of dug up darlings
Infinitely worse for wear
But killing them again is sparking
My heart, a green glow growing there
Face through the fence, need new ears and an eye patch
But I want the handicap, I want absolute silence
I want the boy to hear me clearly when I yell
These dead things are yours now, now please go to hell
I'm pulling off old skin
I'm breaking sawdust bones
I've got soap and stitches
I'm hunting a shadow
And now I've got no skin
And now I've got no bones
And I feel fantastic
I can see my shadow
I'm good at killing darlings
I'm crossing out history
My shadow is applauding
It looks more and more like me
