You stood there and you watched me do that thing
Where I tear myself to shreds over the course of weeks until
There’s not a single god damned splinter left intact
My mind dispersed, I die a million little deaths
You said that you were passive in that process
But your passivity is just guilt trapped in the carcass of an excuse
There is no fourth wall, come gather closer and partake
The spear’s been sharpened, and the bull has been sedated in advance
Is the spectacle grotesque enough
To please your taste my man?
Would you like to get a season pass
Or a permanent residence?
I’ve got a spot free near the back of my head
Where you would sit tightly
Between the brain rot and the self-directed hatred
And the memories
I think you’d love it here
I think you’d fit right in

Exactly how do you propose
We plug this mind-shaped hole from which I spill?
Perhaps this cork should do the trick
But I’m afraid I’ll just keep bloating and bloating and
Shall we wait until it bleeds me dry
Or do we patch up this puncture wound and wait
Until my face begins to rupture at the seams?
I suppose we can’t just stuff it all back in there
If it just keeps swelling and oozing out
From every god damned orifice at once
Am I not the biggest zit you’ve ever seen?
Ain’t this flesh balloon just bursting to get popped?
You know, I honestly can’t wait to blow my load
Through the gaps in its shit-eating grimace
Too bad I’ll have to endure yet another one of your
Fruitless attempts to cure me before I finally get to tear myself a new one
By God I will split this ugly face right down the middle
And squeeze out every single wretched thought
I will pray for both our sakes that this procedure fixes me
´Cause if this shunt doesn´t work
If this shunt doesn´t work
if this shunt doesn´t work I promise
The scene I’ll leave behind won’t be pretty
