Monsters Can Be Pretty

I won’t be held captive You have only single moments When you’re worth a damn smile Spread the feel good Cause you seem to think you’re desired But it’s funny cause you’re a lie Deliver the what ifs Hold onto your maybes You’re not fooling me baby Just acknowledge that there’s a feeling You cloud your mind with hysteria I’m just loosing out on prayers Stars aren’t making wishes come true Cause you’re a nightmare Just fit to abuse I won’t let myself be beckoned to you You just roll through Answer when the symbol falls through I can’t blame you for pretending My offer is just impending And you’re dishonest and condescending I’m too available It’s just I make you a priority Only that isn’t that pleasing Drain my veins of your toxicity I can’t trade myself for freebees Only then will you realize you’re inability You’re safe in your lonely maze Trusting no one Let even the best escape I won’t be chained to your boredom I’ll deliver you some headway Maybe then you’ll realize you’re a phase No poetry in complacent I’d give the galaxy to be you’re safe place You only crave me when I can’t stay I won’t let you catch my freedom I don’t want the casualties I’d rather roll the dice then be in captivity You trap my breath Tug at my weaknesses I’ll have you know, I fight freely Can’t burn the gravel beneath your feet Stomp away at the pebbles They won’t fancy you’re strategy Crushed in ashes You burned the tent we hitched Only to smell weeds and a heated ***** Pool out of clothing The soft skin will have you itching They’ll just let you dive into the obscene Guarantees are for the hopeful Clouds won’t let you see The sunshine in the little lady Saunter with the surreal Splash away the tide Caught in the wind hail of heaven Once lost in your eyes Not to be forgotten in her disguise She’ll trip you to get a rise Scrape your knees Let the blood pool Someone will have a Band-Aid for you
