Spill My Blood

Spill my blood

I can hear the chatter

Evaporate

As my comrades/loved ones scatter

My manacled

Bloody ankles

Drive them away

Hypnotized

Fevered, favored/fever-flavored lovers

Ejaculate

So much clever cover

But canny/crazy me

Code breaking

Strips it away

Hey, so there you go

In my mind’s daze

So cold, now you glow

Give a game away

Sunburst smile in a photograph

A pregnant moment right before you laughed

But I fear where this thread ends

With paranoia and the death of friendship

I know where you go

In my mind’s haze

So cold, now you glow

Give your game away

Sunburst smile in a wedding frame

No trace of heartache, no trace of blame

But I fear how this song dies

With recriminations and bald-faced lies
