Tempt Me Not

Knowing what you meant invokes me to cry Did you mean to be so completely cruel You found the ones wounded in me how Too comfortable with discouragement now That only took a single blow Blow by blow we never know Did you mean to steal courage away I’ve never met the real you day after day Never been good at all about what flew Just look through me again and again The transparent always get seen right through Monsters can have a peppermint view Not to say what their masters do Shocking is always a lie in disguise Drag your heals deeper to cry Find that trust you hide inside Sorry never felt fright in your arms Always something setting traps and alarms More or less filthy thoughts of bedroom harms Flowers cascading from the dread Savage beast go skipping ahead Without you I would have one less eye Knowing what you meant invokes me to cry.
