I'm a Fantastic Wreck

I want to taste tears

I want to free the beast from its cage

Mad like my aging soul

I want to make it all

Worth something

Worth the guillotine on my head

I’m a fantastic wreck

Wrecking everyone around me

I’m a fantastic wreck

And if I’m a little bit deranged would you not

Estrange me

Or change me

And if I can write your name can I be

Angry and

Nasty

And if nothing else can change me

And I am just this way then

Would you love me?

I want to tease skin

I want to lace wings from all the faults in my name

Walking heavy on a crystal life

I want to make myself

Worth something

Worth the thoughts that run through my head
