Eating My Skin for Food

She never speaks her mind
She just lays it down in pages
She only tells the truth
When no ones listening
The answers to her prayers
Are the keys to all the cages
Where her fears are locked & waiting
They're red eyed & waiting & glistening

And I'm
Eating my skin for food
I'm saving my breath for you
I'm living my life
For no good reason
I'm not breathing

She never drinks too much
'cause you can never drink enough
She only slips a little
But only when she's falling
The sparkle in her eyes
Is like the lightning in the night
There's a flash of light
Then you're left in the dark
And it usually starts to rain

And I'm
Eating my skin for food
I'm saving my breath for you
I'm living my life
For no good reason
I'm not breathing

She's easy to please
But not pleased easily repeatedly
& easily squeezed repeatedly unpleasingly
But not squeezeteased unpleasingly easily unrepeatingly
Meaninglessly squeamishly greasily
Nonpeacefully
