Slowly Burning

there you go around my neck
it's started to shrink this sick
beat me bruise me baste & tooth me

throw me off this deck
this sea of me
no longer satisfies my internal thirst

these hunger pains leave
me far from where I see your shore
hidden glances, i start
to pour, to place, the prick
your putty

throw me off this deck
this sea of me
no longer satisfies my hunt
i wreck
this damage, this control
it leaves me so
unwhole and
incomplete

i smoke quickly
down my drink
across these stares i see
your face, burning
i give up chase
and just surrender

throw me off this deck
this sea of me
no longer satisfies my disease
i seize
in discontent
and you must know, i was a threat
that we were never s'pposed to have met
criss.cross.and on the line

hung out to dry
hung to please
i cross the street
and hide my face
must work real hard to forget
this place and
where you broke my heart
