messy - serpentwithfeet

I’ve been sitting alone for hours

Waiting for you to bring your ugliest parts to me

I’ve been naming our thorns for hours

Hoping you’ll treat them as kindly as you treated me

Oh, I’ve been thinking like a beast for hours

Wondering if you like the challenge of grooming me

After I glamour you for hours

Will you have the strength, the strength to extinguish me?

Each time you deny my mess

You’ll find yourself closer to me, closer to me

Each time you deny my mess

You’ll find yourself closer to me, closer to me

Close to me

Boy, I’m hungry but all my knives are dull

Will you sharpen your teeth to hunt and keep me full?

Oh, hunt and keep me full

When you’re burnt out and you’re praying for rain

Can I wish for flood?

Is that OK?

Each time you deny my mess

You’ll find yourself closer to me, closer to me

Every time you lie you’ll find yourself deeper inside of me

Each time you deny my mess

You’ll find yourself closer to me, closer to me

Why would you stay this long if you didn’t want me?

Each time you deny my mess

You’ll find yourself closer to me, closer to me

Don’t act like I don’t bring so much joy to you

Each time you deny my mess

You’ll find yourself closer to me, closer to me

You’ll find yourself, close to me, closer to me

Each time you deny my mess

You’ll find yourself closer to me, closer to me

Each time you deny my mess

You’ll find yourself closer to me, closer to me

Close to me
