communion (you wanna shut my mouth)

let me partake of the daydreams that will eventually break my heart
blood on my tongue, body undone, now it's my turn to come apart

you don't know me, this bundle of flesh and bone stretched across the floor
you don't owe me this debt of cruelty as you turn me out the door

i see, i see, i see
everything you thought you hid from me

i feel fingers slide over my mouth and tighten their grip on my arm
love is a weapon, i'm not a victim but i feel like i'm falling apart

you don't know me, this bundle of flesh and bone stretched across the floor
you don't owe me this debt of cruelty as you turn me out the door

i see, i see, i see
everything you thought you hid from me

you wanna shut my mouth, you wanna shut my mouth, you wanna shut my mouth
i know you do
i know you do

but you don't know me, this bundle of flesh and bone stretched across the floor
you don't owe me this debt of cruelty as you turn me out the door
