SCARE MYSELF

you're sick of me and no-one else
I must agree I scare myself
can you explain why this must be
like pulling teeth

I guard my secret from you
dirty and hideous 
burned and scarred by the truth
unbearable
the gods they smile down on you
your wings of perfect everything 
banished serpent am I

you're sick of me and no-one else
I must agree I scare myself
can you explain why this must be
like pulling teeth

a child of perfect neglect, I writhe in agony recoil at my touch, don't look at me
your distance keeps you safe
conscience your enemy
with mercy on your lips

you're sick of me and no-one else
I must admit I hate myself
can you explain why you and me

you're sick of me and no-one else
I must agree I scare myself
can you explain why this must be
like pulling teeth
like pulling teeth I scare myself
like pulling teeth I scare myself
