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
