LoveSick

"Found Wanting"

you keep your words simple
and your eyes deep in mine
but even in your silence, you scream
and i get lost in you every time

even if things don't turn out okay
you make me believe they will, always
because you love me from deep in your soul
and now i never want to be alone
skin and bones are all that separate
our hearts from colliding
you'd be mine if i trusted fate
but there's no way i'm hiding
i'm exposed and in the open
i'm exposed and i'm open

i've always kept to myself
and all i ever had was time
but now time means absolutely nothing
and i forever want you as mine

even if things don't turn out okay
you make me believe they will, always
because you love me from deep in your soul
and now i never want to be alone

skin and bones are all that separate
our hearts from colliding
you'd be mine if i trusted fate
but there's no way i'm hiding
i'm exposed and in the open
i'm exposed and i'm open

if love is a fire, i've been consumed
you fill my heart, i thought there was no room

Light My Fire.

“Sparkler”

I’m the shadow of an angel, the heavy black before sleep
I never knew I had such long fangs
I kept my broken ribs in check, my liver shiny and clean
My smoky eyes shielded by fussy bangs

Don’t be afraid to touch me, honey
If I bite, it’s just how I show I care
Don’t be afraid to taste me, baby
If I bleed, promise you won’t stare
Just take me, just take me all in

You’re the promise inked in my lips, the grease from the machine
I never thought you’d have such soft skin
You kept your voice low, your small eyes from being seen
Your weapon of choice hidden well within

I’m not afraid to touch you, honey
If I bite, it’s just to show I care
I’m not afraid to taste you, baby
If I bleed, promise you won’t stare
Just take me, just take me all in

Who knew I’d be such a firecracker?
If you can’t take the heat, don’t play with my fire
Who knew your legs would light such a spark?
If you can’t take the heat, don’t play with this fire

Like Taylor Swift, Much?

"You And Your Rubber Bullets"

i wanna take your world and paint it all red
and watch you choke on everything you ever said
but there's no use in it because you're already dead
so i'll just turn my back and look away instead
i'm not the rat in your cage anymore
but it's not blood running through my veins
i'm not your tiny soldier anymore
so you'd be wise to release the reins

*baby, you had me but you let me go
what you could've had, you'll never know
now you stare up at me from 50 below
you'll call out to me, but i'll answer "no."*

i wanna take your lips and stitch them up tight
and watch you burn as you're consumed in light
but it's no use because you're out of my sight
so i'll laugh to myself as you lose your own fight
i'm not your spoiled princess anymore
but i'm the queen of my own kingdom now
i'm not a fake trophy anymore
so you'd be wise to learn a new anthem now

*honey, you found me but you let me go
what you could've had, you'll never know
now your cold heart is 60 below
you'll reach for me, but i'll answer "no."*

you may have wounded me, but you'll never keep me down
you may have won the battle, but this war is mine now
you may have wounded me, but you'll never keep me down
you may have won the battle, but this war is mine now
