Somewhere to Hide

She said "come along with me,

I've got offerings for you my sweet, sweet boy"

She promised warmth too, but I knew better

Her words broke hot against my neck

And tasting the sweet, sweet numb of regret on my lips

I filled my pockets and closed the door

And I tasted all I'd left behind,

Then shameful I crawled naked

Searching for somewhere to hide

And in the end she said it was memorable and comfortable

But funny, I wouldn't have used those words

The secrecy and her bed, it was choking me with a knot in my gut

You have beautiful empty eyes, I'm sure of that much

Oh princess open your eyes and close your mouth

Else all that spite you swallow willingly , it just might fall out

And I've seen you smile wide, I've seen you at your best

And it left me feeling sick inside and unimpressed

And I tasted all I'd left behind, but shameful I crawled naked

Searching for somewhere to hide
