Page 186 of Pierce Me

Thinking of that multiverse

that’s picturing us happy

Where I haven’t hurt you yet

and never will

Where you’re still reading under that tree

And I’m confusing

Juliet with Lizzie

And Jane with Tess of the D’Urbervilles

Don’t press me, man

I’ll recite it right now.

Chorus

I’m begging you to pierce me

Pierce me

Pierce my armor

Pierce my soul

Rip me open

Take my heart

What’s left of it anyway

It’s yours

It’s yours

It’s yours

First bridge

Alone in my room

Nothing left

but the memory of you

You haunt me

You pierce me

You lose me

Pierce me

Pierce my soul
