Despicable Animal

Jenn Wasner

If I say no to you
Will I still go to you
Begging a desperate grin?
All eyes and mouth
Will I still shut you out?
Will I eat all your ashes again?
Still in this haste
Wonder what is this taste
You are feeding me gentle and plain
Though I am made for you
I am afraid of you
Violence is part of your name

Thank god, I'm home
You're finally on to me
My one, my own
Despicable animal
I hope we meet
And still you will speak to me
I shift to flee
And render it obsolete

But I won't see the sun for anyone
My blindness is complete
And there is no coin or currency
To equal my belief
If I can bring us to the water
Will you promise to drink deep?
You are the one who makes me golden
As I shudder in my sleep
You are the one

Is it a flaw
That I'm proud of it all
At how little that we truly need?
I was in awe,
I was never in doubt
Of how terrible hunger can be

Thank god, I'm home
You're finally on to me
My one, my own
Despicable animal
I swear I can speak
But my jaw is loosening
I feel the pull
And oh it is frightening

But I won't see the sun for anyone
My blindness is complete
And there is no coin or currency
To equal my belief
If I can bring us to water
Will you promise to drink deep?
You are the one who makes me golden
As I murder in my sleep
You are the one

And I won't see the sun
For anyone
