Lyrics: Beautiful Small Machines. In the Name of Revenge.

I keep a picture in my head
Of the last time that we met
I call on it when I'm in bed
Just to make my body wet
It's the screw turned in my brain
It's the fist around my heart
It's the poison in my vein
It's the most delicious part

Here we go
Nice and slow

The beginning
Is so novel
When you're fighting
For survival
When everything you ever loved
Will be offered up
In the name of revenge

I'm gonna wrap you up in wire
I'm gonna lean into your ear
Until a breath of quiet fire
Is the only thing you hear
I'm gonna kiss your messy face
I'm gonna carve you, little notch
I'm gonna fill your every space
I'm gonna make sure that you watch

Daffodil
Just keep still

The beginning
Is so novel
When you're fighting
For survival
When everything you ever loved
Will be offered up
In the name of revenge

Little buttercup
Cherries on the top
I'm afraid I won't know when to stop

I keep a picture in my head
Of the next time that we'll meet
When every bitter word you said
Will reappear for you to eat
It's so sweet

The beginning
Is so novel
When you're fighting
For survival
When everything you ever loved
Will be offered up
In the name of revenge
In the name of revenge
