Dirty shamed and bruised

That old familiar feeling

I love turned inside out

Men feast of me

And leave the remains

My lips are numb

I can taste the taint

Of poison candy on your lips

As I become just moving flesh

Your touch static and rough

Eyes open, yet you've gone blind

Take this, your heart

And wash all the love out

Make me choke on these white lies

Spread my legs and take

All of what you want of me

Drown me in your vices

Until the numbness spreads

I am told the path to oblivion

Is in other people's beds
