Easy enough. Comment if you think anything's wrong.



she says too much
           
when she sleepwalks around
                           
her hips are a warm sarcophagus

she's so sadistic
            
when she's sobering up,

self-destructive and sexy
           
when the weather's hot


                       
and i want her to know
                                 
that my heart ain't carved of stone
                       
and i want her to know
                           
that my heart is on the road


                               
she fences heartbreak across the border
                                    
and builds a better bird house out of oak
                                     
she laughs when the main protagonist's family dies
                                
and i wouldn't trust her when she cries at night


                       
and i want her to know
                                 
that my heart ain't carved of stone
                       
and i want her to know
                           
that my heart is on the road


       
(Incoherent shouts)
                                     
...bird shot and left in the desert to die

and i want her to know
                                 
that my heart ain't carved of bone
                      
and i want her to know
                                
that my heart ain't a bar of soap
                      
and i want her to know
                            
that my heart is just as cold

it's already been said better     

one hundred times before



it's so lovely

when the worlds collide
                       
and the ship spins out     of control
