You break a glass, let it shatter,
Cut off your head, put it on a platter,
Say sorry to the wind, each whistle,
Brush till you bleed, break every bristle,
Rot in bed, mould into the frame,
Lose your mind, forget your own name,
Smoke so much you become the cloud,
Tell them, scream your love so loud,
Starve yourself until you disappear,
Chase them back, reverse the fear,
Take out your eyes, go blind,
Beg for a love you'll never find.
Chew on rock, split your teeth to shards,
Open up, show the world your cards,
Be yourself, let them in,
Play a losing game, never win.
