Coincidental Introduction (via 2002)

 

Allow me to introduce myself
And make our propositions
Let's make a toast to our turmoil
And compare our lacerations

 

I thirst for your attentiveness
So read the epitaphed tombs
Do you still hunger affection
A dog to lick at your wounds

 

Can i please follow you around
Or am i merely chasing tails
Is it coincidence our hearts
Liken that of dark rusty jails

 

Is it plausible we share pain
So then can we share your pipe
We adore same mountain views
Sure death, we taste it ripe

 

So allow me to reintroduce
For i know you have forgotten
We're a lovely double suicide
Two rotten brown apples begotten

 

 

Curious (via 2002)

 

Damn the curiosity
The intrigue that plagues me
I want to run
Flee to safety
With my heart in my arms wrapped

 

Damn the interest i possess
But it's merely a question of time
When i unwrap the gift in my arms
And donate it to your cause

 

Deem-ably worthy, i pray
I only have one
Cautious yet intrigued

 

Damn the curiosity
I've just given to you my gift
My heart
