Come to me girl
I'll make your dreams come true
You'll be entangled
As I speak in star-spangled
rhetoric to get you quick
And I always leave them mangled
But you know
Just a little closer now
I weave the illusion of freedom
As I work your every angle
Cover you in pretty bangles
As I wrap tighter
And begin to strangle
Smooth like reptile scales
As you gaze into my eyes
You'll never quite realize
How gargantuan
My coils are in size
It was your own fault really
Didn't you see me
I am the constrictor
With your listening ears
And my lies in verse
We both get a little sicker
I'll make your dreams come true
You'll be entangled
As I speak in star-spangled
rhetoric to get you quick
And I always leave them mangled
But you know
Just a little closer now
I weave the illusion of freedom
As I work your every angle
Cover you in pretty bangles
As I wrap tighter
And begin to strangle
Smooth like reptile scales
As you gaze into my eyes
You'll never quite realize
How gargantuan
My coils are in size
It was your own fault really
Didn't you see me
I am the constrictor
With your listening ears
And my lies in verse
We both get a little sicker
I wanted to write something that sounded and felt very provocative but was meant to make you think about all the stuff that we have blindly believed and listened to. False friends, sensationalist news, wicked lovers. The warning signs are always there but sometimes we get caught in our own fantasy and we don't want to see the truth.
