I could be the smartest person in the world
The collective intellect in one
And still I'd be thinking about ***** all the time
Not to be crude or anything

The animal is hugry
Out for blood
The urge to feed

I'm refusing to play along
I'm refusing to go hunting

She said she likes to play
Likes to puzzle
I said okay
Let's play your game

Acting condfident
But
Feeling terrified

She'll leave me in pieces
Wishing and wanting
Torn apart
If she kept a piece for herself
I'll never be whole again

Don't be boring
Don't be weird
Entertain me, suprise me
Do you like what you see?

I need you to be bold
Take risks
Listen to what I have to say
And then remember
Read between the lines
You'll need to know when to ignore me

Respect me
Don't overstep
But put me in my place
Show effort show you care
Care for me
But don't try to hard now boy
You're coming on to strong
I need a man
To misstreat me right

All men are bad
I'm my own person
I don't need you
Are you still up?
I feel lonely
Come on over
Tell me what to do
Tell what you want

Please stay
Don't leave me before the morning comes
Do you have a shirt I can borrow?
I'll ghost you tomorrow
Can't look in the mirror
Trying to safe face

Beyond all reason
I'm still trying again
Still trying to feel safe
Learning to let myself go in your embrace

Will I ever not be
Back on that school yard
Or in my mothers kitchen?
Back in that prison of thought?
I'm always under fire in my head

All my escape plans go in circles
It's roots run deep
Underground
They'll never see the light of day

It's a sacred matter
Our holy fight
An anniversary

The remnants of yester year
Shackles
I wear them like accessories
What's the weight?

My dark persona
Always wanting and hungry
Shady
A loyal companion
Panting
At my side

Sometimes at heel
Sometimes far off
Roaming free
Out of sight out of mind

No worries
It has my scent
It will always find it'S way back to me
No point in trying to outrun your own shadow
