Burdock and Bismuth
Bury me in cotton
Steal my spirit away
Lay me in the cold sea
Rob me of life today
I don't want to feel anymore
Take these emotions from me
The pain in my head
My heart
My hands
Please just set me free
This blood on my face
Mingling with vibrant paint
Red on blue on yellow
Their gorgeous, discordant taint
I suffer in my beauty
I am stunning in my pain
But do not mistake
My empathy for apathy
For your judgement is all in vain
I care not what you think of me
Of what you say behind my back
Because a smart cobra
Will wait until your back
Is turned
To make its lethal attack
