      I feel like it’s kinda cute. I love you so much I’d eat you so you can always be a part of me. Kinda horrifying in relation to our reality, but in correlation to “where the wild things are”, the lyrics are nostalgically brilliant.

    She may contain the urge to run away
    But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
    Citrezene your fever’s gripped me again
    Never kisses all you ever send are fullstops, la la la la
    Do you know where the wilds things go
    They go along to take your honey, la la la la
    Break down now weep build up breakfast now
    Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la
    Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
    The fear has gripped me but here I go
    My heart sinks as I jump up
    Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
    Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah
    Do you know where the wild things go
    They go along to take your honey, la la la la
    Break down let’s sleep build up breakfast now
    Let’s eat my love my love love love, la la la la
    She bruises coughs she splutters pistol shots
    But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
    She’s morphine queen of my vaccine my love my love love love, la la la la
    Muscle to muscle and toe to toe
    The fear has gripped me but here I go
    My heart sinks as I jump up
    Your hand grips hand as my eyes shut
    And ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah
    Ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah, ahhh ahhh ahhh ah ah
    She may contain the urge to runaway
    But hold her down with soggy clothes and breezeblocks
    Germaline disinfect the scene my love my love love love
    But please don’t go I love you so my lovely
    Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so
    Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so
    Please break my heart, hey
    Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so
    Please don’t go, please don’t go, I love you so, I love you so
    Please break my heart, ah ha
    Please don’t go, I’ll eat you whole
    I love you so, I love you, so I love you so
    Please don’t go I’ll eat you whole
