Not yet

You should be afraid of me

Most people are

I'm a monster of emotions and broken parts

Don't try to piece me back it's not worth the struggle

I'm in the land of lost toys hiding neath the rubble

I'll come out some day when I'm good and ready

But not yet sweet child for these delusions are heavy

 

Hanging from the noose is my poor soul

Don't come up or you be pulled into my cold

Dark hands reaching for the surface

But the water is murky and your face a blur

I'll find you sometime when my eyesight is clear

But not yet sweet child for I'm not one to endear

 

Rings at the alter I'm swaying to the music

My sins I have bore will soon make me lose it

I lie and I love and I dream and indulge

But nothing is worth your soul I engulfe

One day I'll be strong and speak the right lines

But not yet sweet child I need to go for a ride
