Duct Tape

Just shut me up, duct tape my mouth
rip off the lipstick, tear out my teeth
one by one, let them bleed.

Just let the red drip onto the floor,
splatter the tiles, salt tipped with tears,
I deserve it.

Make a zipper to zip my lips,
chain my legs, don't dare let me dance,
I did this to myself.

You know that angel? The guardian?
I lost him, pushed him away,
and only with myself to blame.

So let me bleed, take the blade
rip out my glorious hair
because it's not so glorious anymore.

Let me wake up in the middle of the night
shaking with terrors, one day I'll wake from the fog
realizing, I did this to myself.
