    You can’t get out of this one, Henry, you can’t get it out of me, and with this bullet

    lodged in my chest, covered with your name, I will turn myself into a gun, because

               it’s all I have,

    because I’m hungry and hollow and just want something to call my own. I’ll be your

    slaughterhouse, your killing floor, your morgue and final resting, walking around with this

              bullet inside me

    ‘cause I couldn’t make you love me and I’m tired of pulling your teeth. Don’t you see, it’s like

    I’ve swallowed your house keys, and it feels so natural, like the bullet was already there,

              like it’s been waiting inside me the whole time.

    Do you want it? Do you want anything I have? Will you throw me to the ground

    like you mean it, reach inside and wrestle it out with your bare hands?

              If you love me, Henry, you don’t love me in a way I understand.
