DON'T WANT TO LOSE (but scared to win)
IT COULD BE LOVE(but probably sin)
*
I CAN'T FIGHT(& so I'll die)
I THINK I'LL DROWN(between your thighs)
*
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANNA!!!
(or spend your days cyber-stalking me)
*
I DON'T WANT TO LIE(we're all gonna die)
THEY SAID, "WE COULD DO THIS FOREVER."
BUT NOTHING'S THE SAME(it's always the game)
FOREVER AIN'T AS LONG AS IT SEEMS (?)
*
AND NOTHING IS REAL (it's all in the "feel")
YOU CUT IT & IT WON'T EVEN BLEED...
WE WANTED TO KNOW(were pure as the snow,
but now you're as stained as the stars)
*
DON'T WANT TO LOSE(but that's the thing,
there's nothing here, but: wedding rings,
and false ties, and booby traps,
and killer thugs, with mobile apps,
and glass jars, full of piss,
and earthquakes that barely miss,
and stomach cramps, and pumpkins pies,
and random loves telling random lies)
*
YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU WANNA!!!
(or spend the nights gaslighting me)
*
I DON'T WANT TO LIE(we're all gonna die)
YOU SAID, "WE WILL DO THIS TOGETHER."
BUT SOMEBODY'S DEAD(or all in my head?),
IT SHOWS YOU CAN PROVE WHAT YOU DREAM.
