ELVAINA E C K H A R T
[/presto]{ and darling i'm drunk
and everything that i have loved
has turned to stone
so pack your bags and come back home ;
and everything that i have loved
has turned to stone
so pack your bags and come back home ;
you shatter -
glass girl, glass heart.
you shatter -
it is all you know how to do.
you shatter -
and your bones fall out
from beneath you.
death laughs at you,
for you will never be stone.
he's broken your backbone,
he's spoken your verdict.
"pain," he says, "pain for elvaina eckhart."
you cried out that he was absurd
but the mallet heard,
a scream against the numbing silence.
and you've never known how to cope with pain
so you get drunk and spill your sorrows out in screams.
and you've never known what it means
to have tears carve themselves down your cheeks in streams.
and you've never known you could fall apart at the seams
but you thought you'd just be dust.
surprise -
you're much less than that.
head thrown back in the midst of a swig,
agony festering in your sob-stricken chest.
sea of amber, taste of fire -
you never have fallen so softly upon concrete.
a haze takes reign of your mind.
and you once swore you were not of this kind,
the type to drown themselves in alcohol.
but then you met your first taste of misery
and craved something sweet to wash away the bitter.
the amber demon in a bottle looks like an angel to you,
but you confuse disaster with salvation.
bottle in one hand.
knife in the other.
(disaster, disaster.)
disaster, disaster,
all along your arm
in dark red -
JEQ.
disaster, disaster
born from the knife in your hand
and the haze with one demand
of disaster, disaster.
you shatter -
you throw the bottle in your hand,
it shatters -
cuts your shins crimson.
you shatter -
you throw yourself on the floor.
you shatter -
not stone anymore.
you shatter -
glass girl, glass heart.
{ and i'm wasted, you can taste it
don't look at me that way
'cause i'll be hanging from a rope
i will haunt you like a ghost ;
don't look at me that way
'cause i'll be hanging from a rope
i will haunt you like a ghost ;
table: fox.
