hung up a rusty wire for your rope,
your tongue upon my neck was taunt.
my blindside wide, your love was dry in your throat,
your knuckles jerked the rug from below.
resign from your disguise,
wreck your mask, forego your desperate fight.
resign from your disguise,
wreck your mask to set your desperate fire.
your freezing feet had auctioned off such ardor
to the first warm bid of hope upon your loss,
don't show yourself, mistake yourself for a martyr,
a hope unbalanced upon the highest rope.
resign from your disguise,
wreck your mask, forego your desperate fight.
resign from your disguise,
wreck your mask to set your desperate fire.
