CUT HANDS HAS THE SOLUTION - VERSE 2

QUESTION: DID YOU EVER HURT YOURSELF TO MAKE SOMEBODY SORRY?
HOW OFTEN DO YOU PRETEND TO BE SICK?
YOU EVER WANTED SOMETHING VERY MUCH BUT NEVER TOLD ANYBODY ABOUT IT?
ARE YOU SUCH A SLUG YOU CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT A FUCKING SUNDAE?
YOU EVER MADE A BIT TOO MUCH FUSS OVER YOUR CUTS?
YES, THE CUTTING WILL BE QUITE DRAMATIC
IF YOU GET THE CRISSCROSS SLIT RIGHT
AND SHOW AN EXPOSED PIECE OF BONE
READY FOR THE HARVEST
AND IN A FEW SECONDS' TIME:
IN A DROP OF ANAL RED THE POISON
AND YOUR TOTALLY DISGUSTINGLY DISEASED UNKEMPT DISGUSTING EXCUSE OF A BODY
CONTINUES TO REACT
TILL MERE DAYS AFTER THE CUTTING
THE CANCER SAYS WELL HELLO
IN BETWEEN FAIRGROUND MUSCLE TWITCHES
AND CLEARLY WHITE SCALY SHIT
TINKERBOY SAYS BURN IT OUT
THE LITTLE CUNT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK HE'S TALKING ABOUT
AND JUST WEEKS AFTER THE CUTTING
YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW
HOW WELL YOU CAN IMAGINE
HOW SOON CHEAP TEARS ARE FORGOTTEN
BECAUSE THERE'S NO WASTED KLEENEX OR SYMPATHY
NOBODY WOULD GIVE A FUCKING TOSS
FOR THE QUASI-GLAMOUR OF YOUR SYMPTOMS
FOR YOUR RUSSELL'S SIGN
AND FOR YOUR ATROCIOUS SLEEPLESS LUCIDITY
BECAUSE WHAT IF THEY WERE PROVOKED?
IT'S PERFECTNESS AND IT'S ALL THERE
NO MORE POINTLESS TRAWLING THROUGH SELF-HELP BOOKS FOR TRIGGERING EXAMPLES
NO MORE DAYTIME TRASH OR DRUNKEN WISDOM
AT FIRST IT SEEMS NOT TO BE WORKING
TILL YOU GET THAT INTIMATION OF DANGER
THAT MEANS YOU CAN NO LONGER CONVINCE YOURSELF IT'S NOT WORKING
MORE AND MORE AND MORE
SO RIGHT NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME FOR BLACKMAIL
WHO HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO MAKE GUILTY?
HAVE YOU EVER TOLD ON ANYONE?
WHAT SOMEBODY HAS TOLD YOU NOT TO TELL
MY QUESTION: I SAID HAVE YOU EVER TOLD ON ANYONE?
YET I'LL TELL YOU:
IT'S HELPING
AND I'LL TELL YOU:
YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
