Wholesome

Your wholesomeness disgusts me
It attracts me only insofar
That it is something that I can corrupt, corrode, destroy
And enjoy
And enjoy
And enjoy

For you are something perfect, pure
Virginal, supreme
Just a tabloid fantasy
A magazine dream
So vapid, so vain, so utterly naive
Sometimes I pine you'll feel so inclined
To crawl yourself back to me

It's a pathetic sense of heaven that I know you're trying to pursue
The Devil wakes up screaming when he's dreaming of you
And I might once have felt so ashamed
Before I fucked my soul away
For everything I've ever wanted
Desired, lusted, coveted and flaunted
All the sins of flesh I knew, all of them except for you
All the sins of flesh of youth
All of them except for you

Now your name reminds me of all those things in life neglected
Sweet and selfish immortality that came with my transcension
It's nothing for you to envy when you're so much closer to the ideal
Embarrassed that my charm could not hide the parts of me so evil

So that I may claim your angelic flesh
Behold the fat of your naked breast
To believe unreal that it's not too late
Let me hold on to my hate

All the want for something better when you began life dejected
And my want for something terrible when I found out I couldn't have it
All the want for something better when you began life dejected
And my want for something terrible when I found out I couldn't have it
All the want for something better when you began life dejected
And my want for something terrible when I found out I couldn't have it
