WoeBegonePod - Tourniquette

To Rate
Let me tie you a tourniquet
God, you seem so out of it
Give your focus to me and bite down
It’ll hurt more than you’re used to now

But soon, once everybody clears the room
And all prayers have been said
In service of a god you stiffed
You’ll go stiff have to deal with it

I’ll stop repeating myself
When you’ve got it through your tempered skull
When the meaning has been rendered dull
Through semantic satiation
I’ll be so goddamn patient with you

With you

Let me wipe that away for you
That littlе bit of light in the corner of your eyе
You thought would illuminate the truth
Through the dignity of youth

But soon, once your body starts betraying you
And you can’t think straight
Because your back is sore
Your end won’t feel like end of the world
And
I’ll stop repeating myself
When I’ve got it through your thickened skin
When I see first hand, the terror lessen
Through semantic satiation
I’ll be so goddamn patient with you
With you
