Spirit Monsoon

I'm no Marilyn Monroe, no Megan Fox, maybe a little Del Ray You have to know the stories inside of my coy stare If I let you in and let you feel it inside of me, would you want to stay By God, let my bystanders notice those gypsy eyes with care I'm no lady, unfortunately; animalistic roar beneath small frames Hair wild, heart as untamable as the sea Would you be okay not being able to tame Any of the spirits residing inside of me I try to tell you with my eyes I try to make you see Please don't be like the other guys Who tried to take advantage of me If I let you in, will you be scared and run away? Faster than those ancestors of mine that jumped In your absence, I'm still asking you to stay I pleaded for those angels of favor, but they don't come The Angel in Black and the Demon in White My predecessors, the wolves, and the moon My whole life, I have tried to hide All of them in me, brewing a spirit monsoon
