Harboring a Sadist - Omar Rodríguez-López

Hold me

By your chest

Tell me half truths

With your eyes

Take me for your fool again

I just can’t speak my mind

Under empty random shadows

Under lonely strings of shadow

The sadist is coming

You can’t remember how

To careless of whispers

Is the same way that she fell

Can’t miss a day of chisma

A crowning of disgrace

I can’t see what all the fuss is about

You still find the time to spit in my face

The sadist is coming

You can’t remember how

To careless of whispers

Is the same way that she fell

The random things

Embedded lies

That we all fell for

And you run away from

This union now

One moral code

Soulless horse of a mouth

Who’ll help you now as you start to drown

Not even your daughter

Not even your son

The random how

The morbid why

That we all fell for

You told us half truths with your lies

The sadist is coming

You can’t remember how

To careless of whispers

Is the same way that she fell
