Chased Glitter

This isn’t make believe Where you get to act in movie scenes It’s real life to me Seems like you’re programmed to leave You’ve been nothing but a struggle You make it hard for me purposely Stand back and let me float away Let go of me so you can flea I miss being loved endlessly By the kind of man who needs me You just play games And dangle the key Disconnected team alliance Our flags wave different ways Sets fire to her defiance Nods your right, but her heart is a blaze Suffocating from swallowing fights Kill the noise that fills her head Jumping safety to fall from new heights Burning from things you said Wounded from wondering You’re different in the wrong ways Storm made it’s way thundering Maybe after all, you are just a phase Dig deep for the soul you stole She was broken before But you had to keep poking holes Now she’s no more than a chore Needed to lose a little sanity To find that the salt mines don’t sting that bad Curse that damn chemistry Now drink the gasoline like a nomad
