Wake up in the dark

     C             Bb  F         C              Bb F   C   Bb F
The after-taste of anger in the back of my mouth

C                Bb F
Spit it on the wall

And cough some more

               C                Bb  F   C   Bb F
And scrape my skin with razor blades

And try to look so good

As stale and selfish as a sick dog

Bb F      C           Bb       F     C  Bb F
Spurning sex like an animal of god

      C        Bb   F           C
I'll tear your red hair by the roots

And hold you blazing

Your face

As if I knew you'd disappear away

You hit me again

    C               Bb
You howl and hit me again

The same sharp pain

Bb
Wakes me in the dark

     C                           Bb
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart

My howl my shake dog

                C
And dreamed of death
