Lyrics:

Verse 1
Thrashing on a kitchen table,
There's a moth trapped in a glass.
She's dying to the cries of no one.
Her Collector takes a nap. (It's taking hold. She's letting go.)
I'm sitting on a couch with their head in my lap.
I mirror their mood. Their tone I match.
There's an itch under my skin but I silo the ache.
I'm a shapeshifter fighting my molting phase.

Chorus
The Collector knows what they want.
So I try to keep
Like their atrophied
Early memories of me.
Their kiss tastes like formaldehyde.
I breathe them in. I calcify.
This fluxus form cannot endure.
I writhe 'til I rupture.
Guts on the floor.

Verse 2
I'm a jar by their bedside.
They're burned to a screen.
In the background,
My skin is sloughing off of me.
I'd staple my scalp - I'd tear out my teeth -
To reassemble their early impression of me.
Glare at a mirror; visceral retching.
Love is horror - live embalming.
Symbiosis tilts threatening.
They turn around - I'm a sculpture adorning.

Chorus
Does The Collector care what I want?
How can I keep
Like their atrophied
Early memories of me?

Bridge
Change in tandem only.
I grow tired of waiting.
Feel resentment forming
For my one-sided sacrificing.

Chorus
Watch: With you I leave just my memory,
Since you want it more than me.
Their kiss tastes like formaldehyde.
I breathe them in. I calcify.
This fluxus form cannot endure.
I writhe 'til I rupture.
Guts on the floor.
