and when the fever broke
you took me up in your arms
you told that same savage joke
it filled me
with the same alarm
i took another shot to see
if i’d still feel the same
and i did
as the crimson sky beat down
like a flame
and i don’t feel the blade
no, it slips in deep and i’m glad
glad you came
you saluted your dead eye reflection
waving that bottle around
told yourself not to expect too much
drank until you couldn’t fall down
i pulled myself to pieces
trying to let you know
that i could still play the stranger
that you crave
don’t let go
and i don’t feel the blade
no, it slips in deep and i’m glad
glad you came
i woke in a hallway
skull tight, hands wet and ripped
and someone said they saw you go
they wouldn’t say
who you were with
i took another shot to see
if i could, like, disapear
and i did
but then the tide dragged me back
and it left me, left me here
now let me feel the blade please
it slips in deep and it pins me down
there’s no pain
