I pierced my eyelids my belly my toes Poke holes through my skin till blood began to flow But I can't get away from myself No I can't get away from myself I smoked and drank and inhaled and swallowed Danced in a trance ritual with belladonna Escaped for a brief eternity but too soon The pain came back again to awake me So I did myself in but I came back again And when I got back in I had to pay for my sins And learn it all again yea learn it all again And it was harder this time yes it was harder this time IT WAS HARDER THIS TIME And I can't get away from myself And I can't get away from myself Can't get away can't get away can't get away from myself Can't get away can't get away can't get away from myself I sat inside an icecube held a dream up hostage Threatened and cursed and painted a violently beautiful seascape Knelt and wept and yelled when I pulled my nails off Loved and sexed and spat and spewed all my juices Out of onto and mixed up With a kiss And it was this kiss that saved me from all pain There was a child And the butterfly carried all my wishes onto the windy breeze The sun The silky curtain And I can't get away from myself
