wasting my time

Take my lies
take my lies
this is what I need from you
I need to abuse
all of your fantasies
I need to disabuse you
of all of your fallacies
I am lightning
piercing your clouds
I am angry rain
flooding the ground
I am a speck of human grime
wasting my allotted time
waiting for something interesting
to come along

If the watchers do their jobs
then let them be agast
if the singers sing their songs
then let them be deafening
If the players play along
then let them riot
let them roar
every time you get close
I inject you
with my pretty little lies
every time I taste your mouth
you taste my caustic hate
pretty girl
I own you
come to me
feed from my filthy hands
sip from my lying lips
we will dance
and we will die
in each other's arms
but do you really know me?
I feel your trusting heart
racing with mine
your doubt and defenses
lay with your discarded clothes
I am in you
and I am snared
the more we struggle
the more we are enmeshed
and the more your faith
in this burned out man
starts to make sense.
