Autumn colored shackles palpitations make the metal growl Xanthic forewings and discal cells grace my mucosa, the ripples feel foul Eternal suffering in a blissful steel I like to spend my days believing my delusions are real Love is just chemicals that we tend to confuse But good lord, honey, these confusing chemicals have me addicted to you May these Lepidopteras lay me down to sleep and wake me with their shattering roar Let me taste your vanilla lips Grip you close with an internal war plaster and staple my clipped feathers and let my heart soar Im wittling away in a bird cage, and begging for your touch I spend my free time knowing I’m too much so listen to my last exasperated “I love you” And i’ll rattle these chains dream of my terminal phalanx touching the sky and gracing your face I’ll slam into the metal walls recoil in ecstasy grip my stomach until hemoglobin lines the ridges in my flesh try to rip the monarch lovers out in hopes they let me rest Im wittling away in a bird cage with a dying wish for your head on my chest
