Darling Killer

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

(2x)

I'm good at killing darlings

I'm crossing out history

My shadow is applauding

It looks more and more like me
