Metal Where Would Does Not Go
Day 1
I pried up the floorboards
Looking for a piece of you that fell
Unplugged the sockets
To drill in there as well
Built some kind of shrine to obsession
In the form of that girl
I tried to spell her name in pictures
But all I came up with was words
Day 2
Skidded on the ice
And blamed my fall on the tires
Shot through my wrist from the socket
Now my inside is made up of wires
I could be so close to you
And I'd be nowhere near your side
My life is a blackbox recorder
And my destiny is to keep telling lies
Day 3
Sawed the body into pieces
Tried to set fire to her teeth and hair
Had dreams of vampires washed up on the shore
While I was reading books on infant care
Wanted to strangle myself for your sick looks
Wanted to pour a wax mould of her chest
Stop the presses to deliver this bulletin
My search for you has broken all my leases
Day 4
It was all a close call
Dial tones won't save me
And it's weird how my whereabouts
Leave my location free
And I'm so self-abusive
When I drag this out for all to see
I made myself disappear
You won't find me here at all
Back to Day 1
Where I'm prying up floorboards
There's a bottle to smash over her head
And then on Day 2
I just want her back in my bed
By Day 7
I've replaced my regret with dread
My last day on earth
I'll use the noose made from my words
