You're right
I'll just unswallow that savoury poll
Uncut that smooth skin
Wait for the blood to dry and then start over

It's all in my head?
Well that much I know
But when you say all in my head surely you mean I'm okay.
And by I'm okay you mean I'll be okay.
Because you love me and would never say something as cruel as

Hello, it's nice to finally meet you!
But could you stop that?
It leaves a savoury taste in my mouth like the pills I swallow.

But you're right
I'll unswallow that savoury pill
Uncut that smooth skin
And tomorrow I'll wake up as if I'd never died at all.
