I've come to the realization
that my heart I've held in a basin
can be opened instantly
unwillingly: my epiphany

For all the time I spent
being stolen so guys can look through me
selling my time and affection in debt to my knee
for all the effort they were applying
I won't sell unless you're buying

I'm containable like catching sand in a holy can
when I'm slipping through the cracks in your hand
I feel my rocky chest expand
as you can grip me again just as planned

To say I'd **** for you is more subtle
for millions die each year
I'd move you to Mars with only a shuttle
and visit every star that's near

My element has tangled with water and earth
but I never knew fire and fire could give birth
to an entire forest of flames
and still be tamed

A fool jumps ahead to trip on their own feet
but i'll keep falling in love with you
if you're still the concrete
