I get roped in, I get caught every time. The smell of bait is always attracting like a word’s next rhyme. And I can’t seem to get out of this trap I find myself in so often, All I need is a glance, a smile, a touch, and I find myself in this coffin. You see, I write about these things so routinely. It takes up all my emotion, And my thoughts are formed obscenely. I am either running From the things I dream at night Or dwelling in my sleep Until I can't stand my waking self. My character seems to hang by a thread’s might, And I now see it lacks in wealth.

The Trapper of Men
I get roped in, I get caught every time. The smell of bait is always attracting like a word’s next rhyme. And I can’t seem to get out of this trap I find myself in so often, All I need is a glance, a smile, a touch, and I find myself in this coffin. You see, I write about these things so routinely. It takes up all my emotion, And my thoughts are formed obscenely. I am either running From the things I dream at night Or dwelling in my sleep Until I can't stand my waking self. My character seems to hang by a thread’s might, And I now see it lacks in wealth.
