Leverage
Iβve peeled off my skin for you
Iβve let you crunch my bones,
Consume beyond my flesh
Beyond my visceral tissues
Beyond my beating heart
Beyond the fibres of my being

lick the spit of life
I was turned on by brokenness
maybe itβs cliche
that I craved pain
swallowing broken bottles
it's lined my pockets
it's swollen my stomach
Do you remember when we saw βsadβ as just another crayon
to colour ourselves in w...
