bloody valentine

can't you see I'm pointless?

just another cog in the machine

don't you know I'm useless?

hold me down, use me as you please

I wish I could conjure

all the gall that you possess

harness it into my body,

this vessel from which I confess

why can't we not be sober?

liquor will last forever

if I can't get sober

then I'll just roll right over

if you love me, beat me

I express my lust through scars

pull my hair and fuck me up

do it again 'til I see stars

if I'm not bleeding, I don't mean it

if you're not smiling, I have failed

if I'm not drawing my last breath,

is it even love?

I keep trying to no avail

every vessel straining

I'm not looking for something tame

I bet you'll want me when 

I'm in shackles, screaming your name
