Chaucer Creeps

I'm gettin' creepier by the minute
And it's all downhill from here
Humbug fills up my tiny brains as I hum away the fear
Of ignorance ignoring ignorant me
And a million tons of chocolate ice cream
Can't begin to placate the yawning loss
Of losing my sweet Violet again

I warned you I'd horde you
You belong here with me

Bathe in anorexia and heroin eyeshadow
Spin like a scratchy 45
Open and close your lipstuck puppet mouth
Sing and dance and lie like you're alive

Clinging again - but I think I deserve you
Thinking again - of ways to betray you
Drinking again - I know what I promised you
Singing again - I know what that does to you

Sing and dance and lie like you're alive
Sing and dance and lie

O ye of little cloth and even less faith
Why do you insist on tampering with fate?
Halfway between divinity and a fall from grace
You'd walk on flaming coals just to see her face
Your bitter song rings out like church bells in the morn'
Your eyes are ever shining, your face is never worn
How can you continue your half-mad belief
In the never-yielding face of misery and grief?

It's bad - smoky and bad
Worse than you remember; So bad I forget
To breathe this rancid time away and fight the rising light
Hell, I'd even miss the fights if there were any

Clinging again - but I think I deserve you
Thinking again - of ways to betray you
Drinking again - I know what I promised you
Singing again - Yeah, I know what that does to you

Beautiful and pathetic, you intrigue and enthrall
Misguided and misplaced, you falter and you fall
Decades, hours, minutes, second place trophies on the wall
Waiting in oblivion - waiting for your call

I warned you I'd horde you
I warned you
