Your relationship's a trap, Like sand your quick foots gripped, Like chains delaying freedom That hold you to your crypt. Or at least I think it shall, If careful steps ar'n't ta'en, Like a lion in a cage That you right now are ma'in'. And make it you must soon, For feelings forced to wait Become immersed in fear With nerves that ants inflate Antsy is the grin That dawdles with the heart. You'll sabotage your options Before you even start. So make your choice in haste, Despite your drowned dismay. To settle for this trap Or trap yourself your way? Again the choice is yours To make or disregard, But know this, future me: Happiness is hard.

Traps
Your relationship's a trap, Like sand your quick foots gripped, Like chains delaying freedom That hold you to your crypt. Or at least I think it shall, If careful steps ar'n't ta'en, Like a lion in a cage That you right now are ma'in'. And make it you must soon, For feelings forced to wait Become immersed in fear With nerves that ants inflate Antsy is the grin That dawdles with the heart. You'll sabotage your options Before you even start. So make your choice in haste, Despite your drowned dismay. To settle for this trap Or trap yourself your way? Again the choice is yours To make or disregard, But know this, future me: Happiness is hard.
