I think I need somebody, I think I need someone. someone to come and save me from my torment, save me from myself. I think I need somebody, I think I need someone, to save me from the ink, and the grasp of my pen I think I need somebody, I think I need someone, to save me, just to save me It seems to me like such an easy plan, to come and turn my life around I fix my flaws, make myself pretty but the fruit of it is still quite bland. I think I need somebody someone cause I’m that girl everybody knows You say my bark is all I got but truly I’m scared to know what will come of me if it was ever to stop. I guess it makes a lot of things we simply can’t agree on. I think I need a somebody, a someone, to lick my wounds when it gets to rough Fix me like kitsugi ,convince me that my ‘perfect’ is still quite enough. Because what is a a shiny metal covered in red and orange rust Need you to drip me in peroxide, colour with me with glitter rid me of dust. You call me gold, and I would remind you that I need to breathe Reducing me to shiny metal that loses it’s shine with every scream
