The nests in the tree
Nestled deep in their black holes
Are much like a corpse’s
every day I spend away from you
returns me back to normal
I belong to myself for once

if you're near
everything I've been practicing disappears  
I'm yours again

just let me breathe on my own
and set me free
from your controlling grasp
and your unyielding touch
and let me be me
bad men
will treat you like you mean nothing to them
but want you enough to have you

troubled men
will know you’re everything to them
but not enough to want you

good men
will give you everything
and want you forever

you will attract the kind of man
the man man is drawn to your type
with the aim of fulfilling your prophecy

vulnerable women get bad men
sad women get troubled men
great women get good men

and i guess i’m the sucker
because well
i’m the saddest woman i know

I kissed my ears to sleep
I can hear the faint fall of rain
somewhere in my head
I'm sad,
You are sad,
We are sad,
The rhyme is "sad",
Too.
"I love you, but"
Is like "I don't love you",
Much better is
"I love but you".
Don't make simple things complicated. They will do it by themselves.
you don't exist when
my eyes are open
you don't exist when
my blood's not poisoned
when my soul's at peace
when my gut is full
and when I'm in company

So you exist most of the time
dear muse
