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
