American Beauty

You taste like something darker that I thought was only mine And to recognize this demon sends whispers down my spine I've toyed with all my questions You've played with all my lies Making minutes slip to hours and never hoping to defy the way it complicates me when I try to push you out When I see you looking in it give disruption to my doubt But the ache is rather pleasant I grow to know it everyday Because you cleanse me of my wrongs and at your temple I will pray Hope you find some inspiration while I'm collapsed here at your feet Holding pieces of my heart together hoping it will beat And you know tht I am flawed Because I wear it on my sleeve And I know I'm safe at home and part of me will never leave
