Ache

(album: Mulberry Violence - 2018)

Intimidation will not work this time
A pack of rats on governor's sideline
In your office, you erect a shrine
Made by cold hard cash and a friend of mine
Dust of ashes on the truck you drive
From the people you forgot inside
You think you're smart, but I'm the mastermind
You asked if you know I'm bleeding on the foyer pine

Nobody watched you as you grabbed
The serrated kitchen knife
And threatened to take my life
Nobody watched you as you dragged
Me to the corner of the room
I'll make you sorry soon

Teleportation to the world untraced
In preparation, evidence erased
You've commandeered every cent I made
But as trade for what's to come, you can have my bank
Blackmail came every day this week
The devil in disguise as a postman's jeep
And there's the reason that revenge is sweet
It's the calliope of pleasure playing indiscreet

Nobody watched you as you grabbed
The serrated kitchen knife
And threatened to take my life
Nobody watched you as you dragged
Me to the middle of the bed
To perform the acts you said
I'll make you sorry soon
Nobody heard the rattle choir
As it sang upon your chest
In the dark amidst your rest

Nobody heard the rattle choir
As it sang upon your chest
In the dark amidst your rest
