Ache - Trevor Powers

Intimidation will not work this time

A pack of rats on governor’s sideline

In your office, you erect a shrine

Made by cold hard cash and a friend of mine

Dust of ashes on the truck you drive

From the people you forgot inside

You think you’re smart, but I’m the mastermind

You asked if you know I’m bleeding on the foyer pine

Nobody watched you as you grabbed

The serrated kitchen knife

And threatened to take my life

Nobody watched you as you dragged

Me to the corner of the room

I’ll make you sorry soon

Teleportation to the world untraced

In preparation, evidence erased

You’ve commandeered every cent I made

But as trade for what’s to come, you can have my bank

Blackmail came every day this week

The devil in disguise as a postman’s jeep

And there’s the reason that revenge is sweet

It’s the calliope of pleasure playing indiscreet

Nobody watched you as you grabbed

The serrated kitchen knife

And threatened to take my life

Nobody watched you as you dragged

Me to the middle of the bed

To perform the acts you said

I’ll make you sorry soon

Nobody heard the rattle choir

As it sang upon your chest

In the dark amidst your rest

Nobody heard the rattle choir

As it sang upon your chest

In the dark amidst your rest
