Incision

Your smile was an invitation to join your hallucination,
a memory to feel when I get lonely

I lied about the purpose of my trip just to get to meet you,
safe from prying eyes, undercover

I’m a stain in this sterile home of harmony
I am the mistake that haunts you at night
I’m a stain on this sheet of compulsive purity
I’m the incision you need just to see
who lives inside of you

You stare at the mirror just to watch how we move in sync
but pleasure never reaches your body

You don’t want to talk about the mess that we’ll face tomorrow
the questions fall like rain on your window

I’m a stain in this sterile home of harmony
I am the mistake that haunts you at night
I’m a stain on this sheet of compulsive purity
I’m the incision you need just to see
who lives inside of you

I’m on the fence again
– should I jump or split in half?
Have I waited for too long?
Have you decided where to belong?

I’m a stain in this sterile home of harmony
I am the mistake that haunts you at night
I’m a stain on this sheet of compulsive purity
I’m the incision you need just to see
who lives inside of you

Walls crumble down around you and tear holes into your gown,
the wounds in your bare skin make you complete
