black tattoo heart

the cold mechanical heart within
beats in time with your fall from sin
you're evil skin
with a chalk-face grin
brought on by your free ideas
sold off like a cheap repeat
sold discreet on a lonely street

you treat me bad
no other way
black tattoo heart
is why I stay
heart so cold
dreams so neat
all sold short on a lonely street

freezing tentacles called your hands
twist another's heart to sand
your master plan
oh so grand
brought around by your mincing teeth
eat away the core beneath
sold along an empty street
plagued by everyone thought of me
all sold off so you can eat

you treat me bad
no other way
black tattoo heart
is why I stay
heart so cold
dreams so sweet
all sold short on an empty street
"this one, anytime I say love if you wanna say love, uh, say it, and if you say it you might as well say it loud, and if you don't feel like sayin' it, don't say it, but if you feel it, certainly say it..."

    I am tired; my heart is
    sick and sad. From where
    the sun stands I will fight
    no more forever."
