Dahmer And The Limbs

In my chest I know
How he felt when they left, when they go
Every muscle, every tendon, every bone
Screams, "No, please don't!"
And the flesh, it's just the flesh
Just something to get past
All the tissues, all the cartilage, all the soft fat
And if one day you must die, I want it to be inside me

Limb to limb splits spine to sternum
Ripped open and spread out
Swallowed in my bowels
Anything to make you stay
Anything to make you stay

In my blood, I'm the same
Everything I want to love, I degrade
Every muscle, every tendon, every bone
I take and humiliate
And the flesh, it's just the flesh
But when it's all that you have left
It becomes the only thing you can keep of them
And when one day you know that they're going to go
Your bones scream, "No, please don't!"

Limb to limb splits spine to sternum
Ripped open and spread out
Swallowed in my bowels
Anything to make you stay
Anything to make you stay

Every mess I make, I make on purpose
So I can lie in it when it's over
The only things I have of you I keep
Underneath my skin, inside me

In my chest I know
How he felt when they left, when they go
