Like a Puppy

You occupy again
The temple of my skull
Disarming guards with tender preservation tools
My soul is wary
But my body pays in full
The lies expire my reality
But still
It's nice to have something to stand for
It's really lovely to have something to fight for
It's very human to have something to believe in
Even if that means you lie
And I
Just take it like a puppy
Cuz it's nice to have something to live for
It's really vital to have someone to die for
It's very natural to have somebody to hold your hand
And yeah that means
You grip
And pull
I take it like a puppy baby
You slide your fingers into recesses of pain
I open crack by crack to let you peek within
My body houses everything weak and inane
And I crave silence from myself when you slip in
It's nice to have something to look for
It's really lovely to have something to work for
It's very crucial to have somebody to trust in
Even if that means you fight
And I
Just lick you like a puppy
Cuz it's nice to have something to lean on
It's so required to have someone to dream of
It's so essential to have somebody to pull the wool
And yeah that means
My eyes
Are fried
I take it like a puppy baby
I wanna be home again
I beg your claws to extract seemingly infinite grasp
I didn't see my life going anywhere with you
Or nowhere but your parents' basement
You know
You thought I was resentful
And darling that was true
Because my lust turned into latent hatred
It's really just like what you feared
I didn't want you
Most of all
You sold me on the meagerness of your worth
You piss on everything in a desperate attempt to claim it
But your piss comes out slow in orange bursts
You're too old to play this game with me
And if you fuck her like you fucked us
There's no lesson to be taught
Because my Texas love will force you to see
It's kinda difficult to coax us into feeling for you
When there's the barrel of a gun in your mouth
Maybe I'd understand your victimhood and struggle more
If your brains were out for examination on the couch
It's nice to have someone to scapegoat
It's really lovely to have something to misquote
It's very vital to have somebody
To carry out the violence
While you cry
And I
Just take it like a puppy
Cuz it's nice to have someone to pound on
It's so essential to be callous and withdrawn
It's so superior to bask in divination and my reverie
You snarl
You whine
You take it like a puppy baby
