HEART OF GOLD

Hurt me baby, push me away.
Grab me honey, set me straight.
Why slice open an invisible heart?
If you're gonna bruise me, leave a mark.
Emotional wounds can be hid too well.
We all fall for the game of show and tell.
Whether truth or lie, cover me up, deny.
Gonna slander me again for not telling you why?
Let's say I burned myself, but didn't expect you to believe.
It was actually from a man, so much bigger than me.
But the 666 that's driving him to stay,
Is the one and only reason why I'm walking away.
If you can force me to fear, than I can force you to sight.
Whatever is covered will be shown from darkness to light.
Throw me on a griddle and watch me burn,
Yet the fire right after will make you turn.
The mighty hand you seized to drown me with and creep,
Is now shriveled into effect; the cuts you gave were too deep.
Even too deep for you darling; with love is scattered scars.
But now you've fallen and shattered after running too far.
Sure I despise your existence, I've been waiting too long for change.
But now that I'm picking up the pieces, your soft eyes are strange.
I'm not used to a hand that's weak and an inner being falling apart.
Ever since I died inside you've been my ending from the start.
I breathe heavily, eyes aglow, as I struggle towards your lips.
Electric wonder is now all I feel from your soft fingertips.
You follow behind, and let me lead.
Oh courageous me! Courageous me!
I just saved what used to be the death of me.
Am I a fool for resourcing and watering the brutality seed?
Then once again I'm shaken and slammed away.
Why did I even think you would stay?
I lay back in the grass purple and shot.
My inner strings give out from a broken heart.
Never trust the demon that's lied before...
Yet the only one lying was my heart of gold.
