find a blanket
i can't see through
and put it over my head

so you can cut off my fingers
i know i won't feel it
unless i can see it

put lead in my pockets
and in my shoes
i won't leave here

i can still laugh until

you sew my lips together
tie my thoughts in knots
i have no opinions

i can still live until

you drain the blood from my body
let me lie here with no vitality
i'm not dead or dying

lock me in a closet
and hide the key
under my own welcome mat

cover me in lies and deceptions
from here i have no choice
but to wonder

i can still love
and there's nothing you
can do about it
