Song for Chris

[EyeScream]

What makes me more pathetic:
Writing this in the first place, or posting it online?

"Chris," by the way, is not anyone related to this forum (or maybe he followed me here; hell, I don't know), so if your name happens to be chris I apologize for the confusion. : )

Black Thread

I still wear your tattoo on my arm
A black and blue and bloody charm
That doesn't fade
And the name on the blade
Is always the same
It has your name

You wear my heart around your neck (that's the chorus)

When I met you I had no heart
So you gave me one, and you took it apart
Now my heartsrings are frayed
And the song that they play
Is always the same
It has your name

(chorus)

The drugs won't get you out of my head
Maybe I'll try this gun instead
'Cause I'm losing my mind
And the ties that bind
Are still the same
They spell your name

(chorus)

I'm in love, I'm in hell
I'm so glad you're doing well
With all that I gave,
And the stone on my grave
Will say the same--
It will have your name

Either it rocks or it sucks;
Either way I'd like to hear why. : )
