we’re stuck in reverse
in an unfinished game
it’s hard to remember how it used to be played
no way to get out of this mess

on a giant chessboard
slit by the moon
I kissed you goodbye & I thought you would cry
instead I saw the “off with his head!” in your eyes

the queen of my barb-wired heart

let me in…
throw me out…
I don’t know…I don’t mind
decapitated, my body’s faded
I see your technicolor face everywhere

you gave a birth
to the clockwork spiders
tying me up - wiring me up to you
infinite prey of your lust

you’re the queen of our barb-wired hearts
