put in a dash of self-hate
and a spoon of sadness
add a cup of watered down sympathy
place it in my skin and bones
blood and tears, in they go
warm it with the anger in your smiles
'
that's the recipe for disaster
that's the recipe for an open wound
that's the potion for murder
murder of my soul and your soul and our souls
'
serve it on a silver plate
garnish it with fake love
set it down on a table for two
elbows off, eyes down
holding hands, saying grace
leave the tablecloth with red stains
'
that's the recipe for disaster
that's the recipe for an open wound
that's a potion for murder
murder of our souls, of our souls, of my soul
'
what will it be? how will you pay?
cheques of lies, black currency
will you tip?
'
that's the recipe for disaster
that's the recipe for an open wound
that's the potion for murder
murder of my soul and your soul and our souls
our souls
my soul
