it feels ugly as sin and it never forgives
can you crawl deep enough? can you wash off the stench?
when life gives you limits, you sharpen your teeth
and with something acidic you rinse out the weakness
could you love my summer body?
if i was the trunk of a tree
you could cut me in half and count twenty eight rings
but i wouldn't trade every scar in my bark
for a day in the scum-ridden shoes that you walk in
tell me all about, the unsightly bodies
you don't see fit to see the light of the sun
and in the weight of our pain i will paint you in blood
may you squirm and you choke in all the damage you've done
could you love my summer body?
