I'm nothing but human chum.

You know,
I've forgotten when the moment was that I decided
I didn't want to die -
It's like waking in mid-sentence
with tears streaming down your face.
It's silent and it's dangerous,
I want to end this race.

Would you stop me
from running into traffic?
'Cause that's my final test,
If you catch my little hand in yours
I'll be there till the end.

I'm nothing if not loyal,
so don't bother to pretend.
I'm not into fake or beautiful
if it means reality must bend.

Sacred expectation -
I never wanted to be
the princess disturbed by the pea.
I wanted to feel my fingers sink
into a pound of flesh.
I wanted to tell you
what I know
and share with you
each hour.

It's passed midnight,
and I'm past regret.
I'm a diamond whore,
and you must forget.

I can be happy
as the world self-destructs.
I can feel this joy
but it's nothing
that I trust.

I moved inside you 
(glow trapped in your palms).
I tripped and fell
and bled and bore up
your every tide
that never made a wave.

We're headed up river
and the twister's in our path

It's passed midnight,
and I'm passed regret.
I'm a diamond whore,
and you must forget.
