ELECTROCUTION SUMMER
it was an electrocution chair summer
I’m crazy about serial killers
pyramid scheme porcelain skinned girls
I gave you my carotid artery, Ted!
Ted smokes camels after two humps
both fucking wan thighs pretty sleeping hands
I bet he likes beef tallow after limp limbs
everything turns into writing
it was an electrocution chair summer
words are more accurate than testimony
How can you bear it, Ted?
I gave you my carotid artery
