lyrics

you taste of sweat and milk,
And your girlfriend cuts your hair
She says your eyes are like silk
You're shining white in the dark,
You're getting blood in the bath.

Sarah says she'll hold you like honey
Sarah says she'll fold you in the dark
Sarah clasps your clammy hand
and whispers in your ear that it's not real
That you can feel

You can feel the
steel slipping over and under you,
gears wrench your fingers and sunder you.
wallets and damp clothes and cold rubber circles
don't phase you
they embrace you
and every tendon and ligament you are.

Your hairline's delicate,
And your jawline is indiscrete.
your basal metabolic rate,
has slown to a crawl,
you're not born.
You're getting wet in the dark,
You're leaking blood in the bath.

You can feel the
steel slipping over and under you,
gears wrench your fingers and sunder you.
wallets and damp clothes and cold rubber circles
don't phase you
they embrace you
and every tendon and ligament you are.
