Everything I Tell You

Everything I tell you is true

Keep it in the box on the shelf

That holds the words you cannot tell

I wish to cease to exist

But it's a human disease we all have to live

My mother was a raging dragon

Every time she spoke the fire burned my skin to ash

My father is a Phoenix

That burned up and is waiting to rise from the ashes again

Everything I tell you is true

Keep it in the box on the shelf

That holds the words you cannot tell

I draw everything I feel until it disappears

Of the curses the witch cased upon me

I'm a snake

Beautiful but deadly

The venom that seeps through my mouth

Ready to bite anyone who tries to take my prey away from me

My mind is a vampire

Sucking the nice thoughts out of my head

And burns by the light of the thoughts that saved the life it lives in

Everything I tell you is true

Everything I say is for you

Please hold it dear and never let it go

Take the key

Unlock the box

Be the real you
