The things I hold dearest tend to be the most slippery
I can’t catch a good grasp
And they fall from my hands like liquid
I wish I could keep them in my clasp

I found a home within strangers
A light inside of the unknown
I was taken in and I settled in
But now they’re all grown

And I feel like an empty nester
I feel like I’m the only one holding on
But I don’t know to accept
That the best thing I’ve ever known could ever be gone

If I sabotaged others like I do myself,
I'd be a ******* weapon of mass destruction

Your eyes are so blue
And remind me of the heaven I used to seek
But heaven already crashed down to earth
And now your eyes are the bottom of the sea

My insides feel like a forsaken tomb that has been reawakened by a misguided seeker
A mummified corpse cursed by the trials of life

But one who has been still in her coffin
Hoping and waiting and dreaming and hoping again
What fools our hopes make of us
For no one can truly bring the dead to life

Not even one such as you, brilliant and vibrant as you are
The very image of the dawn
You are the sun, but I am the shadow of doubt you cast
And you will set before I can rise

The opposite of the "Other Woman"
Is the woman left behind
The one forgotten, abandoned, betrayed
Who comes to find that
Though he was her's first
She was the Other Woman the entire time

Hit me so I taste blood
I’ll swallow it
Mama didn’t raise no spitter
Kiss me with your teeth
Lock me away with the monsters in the closet
Tie me with up with heartstrings
Wrap me up in sandpaper

Keep your tenderness far from me
Your sweet nothings rot my teeth
Holding me close at sunrise gives me morning-after sickness
Kisses on my forehead break my skin out
Touching me gently gives me hives, not goosebumps
If you don’t pretend to care
I won’t have to pretend to believe you

You are my bitter downfall
I didn't love you first
In fact you came in last
To claim what many have searched for
But none have taken
You came in last,
You came in last
To a land where none have traveled
To be what none have been
You took what you could
You took what you can
You are my bitter downfall
You never thought twice
But I thought a thousand times
Of what I lack
Now that I know you
Now that you know me
