The reason my thoughts don't follow me home.
The reason my feelings remain unknown.
When I try to think,
My heart starts to sink.
This blackbird won't leave me alone.

This blackbird won't get left behind.
It hits me with no warning signs.
It endlessly haunts me.
It tweets and it taunts me.
My life is stuck in rewind.

This blackbird sits and pecks at my bones.
The remorse it feels may never be shown.
It pecks at my hips.
It kisses my lips.
This blackbird won't leave me alone.

I am blunt, and I am simple.
I am as light as a feather.
I am the body you see in the clouds,
when my soul in under the weather.
I am blunt, and simple.

I am scared, and I am brave.
I am your candle in the dark.
I am a flame in a fire pit.
I am a firework spark.
I am scared, and brave.

I am blazed, and I am free.
My mind has run away.
It may come back a quarter to nine,
or maybe another day.
I am blazed, and free.

I am a copy, and I am a slave.
A doll in the law's hand.
Hoping I can avoid trouble.
I try as hard as I can.
I am a copy, and a slave.

I am strong, and I am only human.
Stuck to my body with glue.
Only I understand who I am inside.
But the question is, do you?
I am strong, and only human.

I am a lover, not a fighter.
I am a lip and neck biter.
I am the steam between the sheets.
I am the raindrops hitting the street.
I am seduction. Pure and red.
I am the monster lying in your bed.
I am your drug in which you're addicted.
I am the monster that won't leave your head.

I am the thought that won't leave your mind.
I am a drop of blood in a glass of red wine.
I am the kiss that meets the lips of death.
I am the lace on a silk black corset.
I am green slime oozing out of the walls.
I am the face of a broken glass doll.
I am your fear in which you're most afraid.
I pick you up just to watch you fall.
