the words stuck in your teeth
like strawberry ice cream
slice your tongue
like ageing rum
but the bottle's out of reach
the words lodged in your teeth
and everything in between
provide you
with a perfect motive
to be scared of me
the keys you play with ease
on major fifth to three
cut through skin
like water and wind
you're begging on your knees
your heart is like a lighthouse
drawing ships to you at sea
but in broad daylight
you just can't thrive
and then you crumble deep
the fires that you started
make you say things very mean
and what a poison
you put your voice in
don't you know it's hurting me?
you see the consequences
of your words and devilish deeds
and now you wish
to go back in
a silver time machine
you left me in an open crowd
i left you in the dust
you left me here to try to heal
i left you there to rust
so now your eyes are tearing up
pouring wild and free
they're leaking gold
so cold
so i can watch the way you plead.
