Merrick from Carniphobia by Buffo's Wake

Merrick


She can make it all, she can build it all
She can raise the whole damn town
She can dig the holes, she can rip it all
She can pull the whole place down
She can melt the Gold, she can melt the gold
She can melt the gold in my crown
She can fill the mould with her shit and salt and be the queen of this old clown
We’ve got forever to know your flesh

All memories we share are of a boy I’ve grown to hate
I kept those words you sung under my tongue and and then I threw the rest away
Although I choke on sullen notes you play into the sky,
They’re falling on deaf ears cus all I hear are lies

“I can make it all” “I can build it all”
“I can raise the whole damn town”
“I can dig the holes” “I can rip it all”
“I can burn the whole place down”
She can make us crawl, she can make us brawl
She can make us fall around
She can kill us all, she should really kill us all
Feed us one and all to the ground
We’ve got forever to know your flesh

All memories we have are of a boy I’ve grown to hate
I kept those words you stung under my tongue and then I threw the rest away
Although I choke on sullen notes you play into the sky,
They’re falling on deaf ears cus all I hear are lies
And that’s nothing new to I
I spent my whole entire life believing I won’t cry
When you sleep in shallow waters you won’t get swept up in the tide
Your soul is just a carnival, the bodies just a ride

It’s just a ride

She can make me tall, she can make whole
She can lift this cold drunk clown
She can make me small, she can pick the holes
She could tear this old cunt down
