Yes, An Epitaph, Once More

A Chapter by Almost Alive

5th lyric

Ah, did you want to hold my head?
Kid, you should stop playing the surgeon
The blood, the excitement, do you feel the emotion?
Be my guest, [Whisper: Lay in the bed, remain calmed], I’m about to start

Nurse, a scalpel if you please
The last patient ran away with them last night
Better start wrapping around someone else’s life
Since we’ll stop the blood transfusion, and thus, this fight
[Boy, I’d love to stay around your messy insides]

Hey, is this what they call a broken heart?
Hell, I could surely use some gloves right now
[Nurse: Sir, the surgeon should be opening your chest now]
Cut, operate, rewrite and rewire, just like we do with art

Perhaps I should’ve sterilized my hands
But to nurture your heart I don’t need as much distance
You may forget about my paycheck as a last instance
Please realize, I’m just following commands

You might regret so many appointments you arranged by phone
To me, cutting your veins is a must
Let’s see if you heart can keep on beating all by itself
But oh, let’s not forget about the lust
[Boy, I’d love to stay around your messy insides]

Hey, is this what they call a broken heart?
Hell, I could surely use some gloves right now
[Nurse: Sir, the surgeon should be opening your chest now]
Cut, operate, rewrite and rewire, just like we do with art

Mind giving me the saw? These feelings are tough
Hey, hey, that’s not the spot we’re supposed to slice up [Assistant: Sorry doc…]
Scissors, scissors, [Damn it!] I don’t have all day
Congratulations sir, from your improvised womb
A demon has been spawned
