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
