Figurine

Someone's been sticking pins
Into my waxen image
The further they get screwed in
The more I give up on living

All I ever learned from you
Was how to satisfy a craving
To give in to desire when the pulse is fading
Figurine, spinning in endless motion
Does she look serene, "til the cold blooded dance is over

Guess you don't know your own strength
Brittle bones lay broken
Hanging limp from a white fence
Head smashed gaping open

All I ever learned from you
Was how to satisfy a craving
To give in to desire when the pulse is fading
Figurine, spinning in endless motion
Does she look serene, 'til the cold blooded dance is done

In its presence we grow weak
In it's absence seek its heat
Fire that purifies the soul
Cleanses and consumes us whole

Porcelain figurine
Forever turning
Fixed expression
No emotion

All I ever learned from you
Was how to satisfy a craving
To give in to desire when the pulse is fading
Figurine, spinning in endless motion
Does she look serene, 'til the cold blooded dance is over
