Eyes That Shoot Bullets

I wasn't scared of demons
I wasn't scared of dark
I wasn't scared of drowning, burning,
Or a crushing fall
I wasn't scared of starving
I wasn't scared of war
Because I had nothing worth losing
To be frightened for

You put your teeth in my neck
Your fingers in my ribs
You took your vile tongue and wrapped it
All around my body
Your breath held onto me
My lungs were black and melting
Your scalp of hooks clung to my fingers
And you drank my panic

You roared and howled, and you snarled in my ear
Told the waiting pack you were going in for the kill

With your eyes that shoot bullets
And your lips that light sparks
You'll be killing me before long
You give me a flick of that barbed-wire tongue
Inviting me to come have fun

You lure me to your den
You call me to your nest
You drag me down the steps and throw me
Up against the wall
You bind my hands and feet
You blind my eyes with poison
You choke the blood out of my stomach
With your dagger point

You pace outside of my cage
You scratch my bedroom door
I'll find your fingerprints burned
Into my windowsill
You're hanging on the ceiling
You slither on the floor
And on my bed you're letting yourself
Slip between the covers

I wake with coils tightening themselves around my chest
You dip your claws into my veins, I'm tasting my own blood

With your eyes that shoot bullets
And your lips that light sparks
You'll be killing me before long
You give me a flick of that barbed-wire tongue
Inviting me to come have fun

You dig me out a grave
My chest still grows and falls
Your fur is standing on its ends
Showing your hatred for me
I feel your padded paws
Pressing against my shoulders
Pushing me down to the earth
Where you will bury me

With your eyes that shoot bullets
And your lips that light sparks
You'll be killing me before long
You give me a flick of that barbed-wire tongue
Inviting me to come have fun
