[Em]                         [B7]          [Em]
I watch the work of my kin bold and boyful
[Em]                        [B7]            [Em]
Toying somewhere between love and abuse
[D]                                     [G]
Calling to join them the wretched and joyful
[Em]                          [B7]        [Em]
Shaking the wings of their terrible youths

[Em]                         [B7]          [Em]
Freshly dissolved in some frozen devotion
[Em]                  [B7]          [Em]
No more alone or myself could I be.
[D]                                      [G]
Looks like a strain to the arms it were open,
[Em]                            [B7]       [Em]
No shortage of sordid, no protest from me.

[Em]                               [G]
With her sweetened breath, & her tongue so mean
[D]                                 [Em]
Shes the angel of small death & the codeine scene
[Em]                              [G]
With her straw-blonde hair, her arms hard & lean
[D]                                 [Em]
Shes the angel of small death & the codeine scene

[Em]                       [B7]                [Em]
Feeling more human and hooked on her flesh I,
[Em]                         [B7]              [Em]
Lay my heart down with the rest at her feet.
[D]                           [G]
Fresh from the fields, all feeder and fur tires,
[Em]                    [B7]           [Em]
Bloody and raw, but I swear it is sweet.

[Em]                           [B7]           [Em]
And lease this confusion, Ill wander the concrete,
[Em]                   [B7]        [Em]
Wonder if better now having survived.
[D]                         [G]
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat,
[Em]                             [B7]           [Em]
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth Im alive.


[Em]                          [B7]         [Em]
And lease this confusion, Ill wander the concrete,
[Em]                   [B7]        [Em]
Wonder if better now having survived.
[D]                         [G]
Jarring of judgement and reasons defeat,
[Em]                             [B7]           [Em]
The sweet heat of her breath in my mouth Im alive.
