Contempt

You are the blood inside my head
The stain that seeps into this bed
You bring me down unto my knees
I taste the sweetness and disease

You are the trigger for the crime
Into this liquid lake of lead
You are the damage and the dirt
You are the thing I cannot hurt

Everything you touch
Everything you see
Everything you hide
Is enough for me
Everything you say
Every time you plead
I get down and pray
For the touch that I need

I confess to contempt
When you bleed me
You think it hurts
But you feed me
The contempt
When you bleed me
You think it hurts
But you feed me

I am the drought upon the seed
I am the leper left unseen
Stupidity is all I heed
This broken vein that you try to bleed

Pour one more bitter cup of bile
Before you crawl your famine mile
The endless bottle and the gun
Works any time for anyone

Everything you touch
Everything you see
Everything you hide
Is enough for me
Everything you say
Every time you plead
I get down and pray
For the touch that I need

I confess to contempt
When you bleed me
You think it hurts
But you feed me
The contempt
When you bleed me
You think it hurts
But you feed me
