Model Citizen

Broken fingers, broken legs
Attention for all those who beg
All alone with bones exposed
I’m the only one who knows
Fingernails tearing under the flesh
Traces of me wherever she went
The frost freezes frozen and erodes
Force fed glass as I step on your throat
Drown your sorrows
No promise of tomorrow
Final farewell
Cry to yourself
Fight to survive
Frozen in time
I’ve seen you at your best
Done to death
The frost freezes frozen and erodes
Force fed glass as I step on your throat
Drown your sorrows
No promise of tomorrow
I buried them under my porch
They called off the dogs, they called off the search
May your sons and daughters rest in peace
Identified by their teeth
Whistling past the graveyard
Dying’s the easy part
The frost freezes frozen and erodes
Force fed glass as I step on your throat
Drown your sorrows
No promise of tomorrow
