I wish to one day be interesting But what is it I should do - Perhaps I'll wear a vibrant headdress and stay here as my skin burns away in the desert and my bones deteriorate My face will remain in the shape of this gaping half smile, trying to lure you in And my eyes will be lost in this wild attempt And you'll be lost with them, as you stare into the darkness that was once their home and realize this is all that I ever was Would this intrigue you

Jealousy
I wish to one day be interesting But what is it I should do - Perhaps I'll wear a vibrant headdress and stay here as my skin burns away in the desert and my bones deteriorate My face will remain in the shape of this gaping half smile, trying to lure you in And my eyes will be lost in this wild attempt And you'll be lost with them, as you stare into the darkness that was once their home and realize this is all that I ever was Would this intrigue you
