X - Dig


from the ABC set After the Storm (pre-2004)

Dig

Dig a little deeper
It's an invite
Come on, needle me
Push me just that step too far
Beyond the brink

I'm waiting

Waiting with a glint
In my eye
And a smirk
On my lips

You know you want to

Come on, push
Then feel the spite my tongue can bring
Words that are so sharp
I swear
They'll burn your ear
And leave a signature
In your skin

I've been so patient
I've been too nice
I've been forgiving
I've been a sacrifice

But now the chain is tight

Now I'm on a livewire
Charged up, ready to kill you
No blood
No mess
Only verbal

But you'll regret

So&;#8230;dig&;#8230;dig&;#8230;dig.
