"Kill Me Softly"
Wrap me in your plastic,
suffocate my past.
Drown me in your sorrows,
kill me so it lasts.
Slit my throat so gently,
slice into my veins.
Kill me oh so softly,
seek my promised name.
Rip my flesh from bone,
pull my fingernails.
Leave me laying, rotting,
hammer me with nails.
Choking on the inside,
sulfur steals my breath.
Fire burns my eyelids,
I wish to suffer death.
Take my offspring from me,
cutting off my hands.
Lead me from this angel,
to the darkest lands.
