Sulphur Rodents - Autumn

Trembling, tried and terrified

Spell cast with open eyes

To greet and feed me

With a smile you mean and a poison you surely don’t

Rushing like rats through my wretched veins

Ever faster, promise racing

To bring some foul salvation

To my weakening carnal cage

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy

Spit into wounds that would burn, had I know

Burns of misplaced ill affection

Such a sweet addiction

Disintegrating grace

Eating through my weakening carnal cage

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy

Spit into wounds that would burn, had I know

If I could pinpoint a place where I can still feel you

Would you cut it out of me?

Would you please just cut it out of me?

Deny me, get it over with

Do us all a favor, see if I care

Misplace me and I’ll grow a shadow

In someone else’s life, for all I care

Skinned by a sulphurous jealousy

Spit into wounds that would burn, had I know

I fall back in line

Pushed, pulled

And await my time
