Lyrics Homunculus - John Cameron Mitchell

Homunculus

I’m the mold on your bread
The prayer bruise on your head
The pause in the joke
That makes you cry til you choke
As a lover I’m unsurpassed
But I come first and you go last
No rival comes above me
I will fuck you til you love me
The end is nigh
And so am I
I am free
To be there when you die
I’ll suck on your memories
Learn from your mistakes
Curate the nightmares
That keep you awake
I will text from upstairs
Just to say you’re pretty
May you live to see
My love turn to pity
I hate when you cry
So dry your eyes
I am free
To be there when you die
I will eat the sins
Pressed into your flesh
I will empty and embalm
I will bathe and bless
Just upload your heartache
Onto my soft drive
We will live forever
The singularity has arrived
It’s do or die
The planet’s gonna fry
But when you say goodbye
It will still be there when you die
I must admit my life’s been
One long bad decision
But my jail cell’s been
Carved out with precision
So spare me the bedside manner
Who says a tumor is subtle
My kingdom for a hammer
To deliver my rebuttal
Some will say I deserve this
And ain’t karma a bitch
I’m a drag on the system
Why not make room for the rich
Christians will avert their eyes
And pray to heaven above
I say, sweet Jesus
I’ll take Medicaid over your love
I don’t know why
I even try
But I’m the only one
Who will still be there when you die
I know I disgust you
I’ve discussed you in detail
With my advisors
They call me the the last great American whale
But how thin the veil
Between loneliness and being alone
I will shuck you like an oyster
I will break your fucking bones
Let’s just skip the plot
Slash the Gordian knot
If you had a body
I say let’s step outside
If I had the courage
I’d bury myself alive
I may not live forever
But you I will survive
I’m so free
The end is nigh
I swear I’ll be
There when you die
Like a turd on a wire
With less mercy than desire
This nation’s tried in its way
To be free
To be there when I die
Oh when I die
I will not die
I will not die
With you
I will not die
