Carving Knife

If I dissect you with my carving knife,
push the tip of rusted blade deep within
to make your hollow eyes come to life,
it means disembowel your hard orange skin.

Push the tip of rusted blade deep within,
gutting the living core, your soul I deprive.
It means disembowel your hard orange skin
to light up small, wanton faces evilly alive.

Gutting the living core, your soul I deprive.
Sulfur soon ignites wax stick of strife
to light up small, wanton faces evilly alive.
I must plunder a ravaged gourd’s life.

Sulfur soon lights a wax stick of strife.
Re-envisioned souls beat, heat pulsing veins.
I must plunder a ravaged gourd’s life,
as flickering wakens inside empty remains.

Re-envisioned souls beat, heat pulsing veins.
Flames intense, faithfully bright will burn,
as flickering wakens inside empty remains,
dedicated to porch, eternally spurned.

Flames intense, faithfully bright will burn.
Devilish carving of mine sinfully grins.
Dedicated to porch, eternally spurned,
little demons sweetly possessed soon begin.

Devilish carving of mine sinfully grins,
frozen on stoop of shame, forced to reside.
Little demons sweetly possessed now begin
BEfOre fLicKeRinG waKeNs tHe DeaD inSidE...
