Murder
is a terrible thing to do,
but I just might
give it a chance for you.
We met last June
on a wide and windy sidewalk,
and I saw so soon
you didn't walk such paths as I'd walk.
How full your lips
were with the subtle thoughts you'd slept upon,
and you swung your hips
with the easy malice of destroying what you stepped upon.
Murder
is a terrible thing to do,
but I just might
give it a chance for you.
Out damned spot!
I just can't wash this hand enough,
because, tool or not,
he probably had hobbies and aspirations and stuff.
You taught me how
to make an exception of myself,
to embrace joy now
and leave my scruples on the shelf.
My heart was thrilled
to see your eyes light up because of me,
and my head was filled
with your scent and your shitty Ayn Randian philosophy
Murder
is a terrible thing to do,
but I just might
give it a chance for you.
Murder
is a terrible thing to do,
but I just might
make an exception of you.

There's a ghost watching you fuck.
There's a vampire watching your workout.
There's a ghost watching you fuck.
There are forces of primordial darkness all around us.
