JAFA - Parchment Skin

You and your parchment skin
Boiled like old leather
Still tender
From beating you last night

If I had my way
I'd lock you in a box
And I'd swallow
The key so you're all mine

I know that you have little strength
And you're all about pretending
So I'll keep you soul in line

Salting your corpse to curse you
I've had much worse
Your ecstasy so divine

The way you looked at me last night
Festered in my mind
Your warning fell
Out of sight
So was it satisfying


Pretty lips unlike parchment skin
Mama said
Son you should find a wife

And why do I need another
When I got ya
Locked up
And melted in my life

You are my crystal meth
I keep you embedded
While hurting you at night

Don't you dare try rebelling
Live quietly in your dwelling
It's a blessing in disguise

The way you looked at me last night
Festered in my mind
Your warning fell
Out of sight
So was it satisfying


I'm afraid of you
I keep falling Through the roots
Of your blood and your sweat and your tears

I'm afraid of you
So I keep on abusing
My hopes
My dreams
And my fears

The way you looked at me last night
Festered in my mind
Your warning fell
Out of sight
So was it satisfying"
