you are the sex that I see
amidst monsters and old homes
all threatened by a volcano
not awake but not quite asleep
in my bed dwarfed by a spec
swallowing the universe
living in my head
not yours but not quite my own
don't run away because I won't
but don't love me because I don't
flying like a sponge
I've soaked you up
well I'm home but not really home
I've let my mind corrupt
I'll distract with these stories that sleep thought up
so you won't notice that my eyes want nothing more than to touch
I'm not perfect by any means
and you know this so please just stop lying
I can't take it it just makes me bleed
I'm so infected I'm so
well you seem quite dishonest
but my ears can't feel
and it'd be silly to dwell on it
when your body is so real
