The drink is a trap Your light kiss is a tease You are not attractive You are not attractive I say to myself I snap out of it And snap back in again Your body doesn’t do it for me Your words don’t travel far You look like you need a compliment You seek them like a fish in a little tank swimming to the surface for food I pinch myself not to wake up but to black out My face is red I know what’s happening I may have lost control but I hover above watching My body does the talking and says the right things to the wrong person

Trap
The drink is a trap Your light kiss is a tease You are not attractive You are not attractive I say to myself I snap out of it And snap back in again Your body doesn’t do it for me Your words don’t travel far You look like you need a compliment You seek them like a fish in a little tank swimming to the surface for food I pinch myself not to wake up but to black out My face is red I know what’s happening I may have lost control but I hover above watching My body does the talking and says the right things to the wrong person
