The Taste of the Smell of a Horse (Single)

by These Stains Are Who I Am

/
1.
I, in a moment of weakness and raving with hunger Went into the shop of the questionable monger Led down to the cave where he ripens the cheeses The Comtés and Gruyères and the Goudas and Bries, then He took one and sliced off a hunk, said admire the funk Of the barnyard, of hay, wool, and grass The taste of the smell of a horse is acquired, of course But it reeks of refinement and class I had some doubts about what the old monger was saying Equestrian aroma and flavor dismaying Is there no other cheese that I might find alluring Something creamy and sweet, not beastly and manuring He told me it’s my time to shine, to not mind the rind That was covered in fungus and mold The taste of the smell of a horse is a powerful force For the wealthy and sexy and bold I held the slice, so milky white I took a bite, and saw the light I shed a single tear as I savored the flavor And turned to the man I would now call my savior He smiled and left me alone in the darkness I feasted and gorged as the weeks and the months passed And so I am bound to the cave, my dairy-filled grave The products of goat, sheep, and cow The taste of the smell of a horse, forever endorsed For it is my everything now The taste of the smell of a horse, I’ll die at the source For it is my everything now The taste of the smell of a horse is acquired, of course But it is my everything now

I put razor blades in my candy Bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed, bloody Halloween AAH there's bones inside of me Bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed, bleed, bloody Halloween BLEED
