I Still Bleed

Legs bent and twisted up underneath me
Limbs like wood my blood flows like pitch
My body shudders and curls against your jaw
Blackened and burned in need of
A stitch or two

You sewed me up and pulled me apart
You sewed me up and pulled me to bits

Your disease comes sinking into me
Its teeth all chiseled mercilessly
Hammering my nerves until I'm split and severed
But somehow you don't see

I still bleed
I hear the razor call and I bleed
Everytime we touch
I still bleed

Down the long grinding night
A cigarette burns a slow hole into my split lip
My eyes burn out 'cause I see too much
I touch your mouth cold skin your hips
Kiss the wound where
I still bleed

Lying just South of your Mouth
Acid burns in every kiss
Loaded breach and swallowed barrel
I never thought it might come to this

Try to hold myself shut together
Stapled sutured but everytime we touch
Then I still bleed
