Even Your Truths Are Lies

You're a worn-down puzzle, missing every other piece of you You lie so incredibly much - you believe every single one is true For someone who brags at how "real" they are You sure do love to bring me bruised and scars I jackhammer your walls and you just build them back up We have no interaction and no affection - I'll never be enough Alone just alone I'm destined to be 'Cause in my eyes - nobody has been good enough for me I'll keep the boys wondering about my heart Thinking always in my world they can always outsmart I can be a bloody-evil, manipulative wild grey witch Or you can take the first punch, and I'll let you watch as I turn into a sorceress So I can bless you - or I can genuinely f--k you up And you think you and your ex's had it rough? Like a djinn - I'll soar through the sky Counting every last single millisecond - 'til the world croaks and dies In the blink of an eye - I can give it all to you Or I can switch-up - making you permanently black and blue See? I'll never be the one to throw that first debilitating punch But I can still watch your world around you come crashing down all at once The lesson here is, "you shall not pass," You f--ked up my world - so watch your's crash Imagine if I was able to take every memory of me straight from your head And you'll wake up tomorrow in a foreign bed Rationalize, justify - even in every single one of your truths you still lie
