My problem
My problem is I love everyone
Even if you press me against a handgun
It’s bad for me, I know, in the long run.
We’ll never be done
Because you showed me the sun
I’m listening to grandson
Isn’t toxicity fun?
Change
Tell me when you change
Because this wasn’t a game
And I got numb in the brain
Moth to your flame
Tattooed heart with a name
It’s me who is to blame
I knew you couldn’t be tamed
I crave chaos and noise
But sometimes I don’t know if I belong into that world. Maybe I’m to delicate. I am to delicate for loud beats, tattoos and white lines. But some nights there’s nothing I want more.
Maybe I crave something that was once unnatural. Simply paradoxical. I’m made to be submissive. I crave a culture that contrasts my softness. I need an edge to my round curves. I need demons in bunkers to be an angel in a flower field.
