In between
Smooth and warm
Digging fingers
Through my soul
Lilac tears
Are soothing the mind
Sharp straight teeth
Pierce the rind

Feel the bruises they won't
Go away
Uninvited they feed
On me

Pushing deep
Leaves a streak
Seething on
Out from wrong
Lay the shade
Makes you tick
Am I sick?
I'm sick!

Feel the bruises they won't
Go away
Uninvited they feed
On me
See the bruises they won't
Go away
Uninvited they stay
On me

Just take them away
Just take them
Away
Just take them away
Away!

Feel the bruises they won't
Go away
Uninvited they feed
On me
See the bruises they won't
Go away
Uninvited they stay
On me
