I was never able to love the beast inside of me
So I fell for the monster in you.
Who knew – that the death of me
Will be as sweet as honey and stick like glue.
And it will suffocate me like the town I outgrew.
But the current carries my bones to the sea
While I’m clenching the shell you drew.
Pull the curtain back once you count to three.
Pretend you never knew.
