Eleanor Shore - You Wanted a Dog lyrics

You have a worm inside your chest 
It's been ten months don't tell your friends They drink and laugh and like to think the best 
It's called a parasite it's free
 So you're getting what you paid for
 If you can't sell it back you know there's always bleach The blue man opens windows to the ground I watched his seed spread pumpkin rash like doubt
 And all the showerheads are looking down For god's sake won't you please just turn around Another day spent in a Kleenex Suffocating babies with soggy minds and eyes that look like mine
 And savage is the sweating instinct to smother 
Thirsty like a flash of light that stabs my eyes and milks the blood for likes Say he's good, he's god,
 He's pa**ionate you'll see 
Oh my protégé my angel boy you'll be But my pa**ions just a shaking bush at night Behind a school with mashed potato mouths and thighs
 And my truth is just the costume for the cla** That is worn and sweat through stepped on then put back That's fine I know you never really asked for this
 But darling you did eat the fish and even my taste it made you sick Just like the candy hearts you fed me on that night out in the cold
 You read from fortune cookie notes
 But every separate path you spoke of leads to the same hole And words are just the costumes 
Used to disguise embarra**ed fools mine are empty and confused
 You tore them off when I tried them on you And everything I've ever done has led me to this dusty stage screaming out your name through disguises that are cheap and far too big 
So you hang your head
 Find a friend you're both embarra**ed by the sound 
Cover your mouth with your hands and you laugh I stabbed you in my arm so that you could keep me warm You never had to impress you knew I'd poke you in again For every whispered promise there are two bathroom secrets
 For every touch that made a song there are two holes in my skin
