Parchment Skin

You and your parchment skin Boiled like old leather Still tender From beating you last night If I had my way I'd lock you in a box And I'd swallow The key so you're all mine I know that you have little strength And you're all about pretending So I'll keep you soul in line Salting your corpse to curse you I've had much worse Your ecstasy so divine The way you looked at me last night Festered in my mind Your warning fell Out of sight So was it satisfying Pretty lips unlike parchment skin Mama said Son you should find a wife And why do I need another When I got ya Locked up And melted in my life You are my crystal meth I keep you embedded While hurting you at night Don't you dare try rebelling Live quietly in your dwelling It's a blessing in disguise The way you looked at me last night Festered in my mind Your warning fell Out of sight So was it satisfying I'm afraid of you I keep falling Through the roots Of your blood and your sweat and your tears I'm afraid of you So I keep on abusing My hopes My dreams And my fears The way you looked at me last night Festered in my mind Your warning fell Out of sight So was it satisfying"
