I'm scared of being murdered

But not so lucky as to die

I've tried so hard at every point

To look death in the eye

I've yelled at him to take me

I've handed him my soul

I've given him the deadened shreds

Of my heart made out of coal

I've taken razors to his skin

And I ripped his flesh apart

I've bled him 'til he's broken

But it's only just the start

I starved him 'til he fainted

Numbers ate his mind

I made it very clear to him

That I could not be kind

So I hung him from my closet

Like towels hung out to dry

I skinned him to his rotten bones

Yet mighty death refused to cry

I looked into the mirror

And he looked straight back at me

And suddenly I realised

Death is who we hate to see
