Body Wires
I don’t need it, can’t you see
I'm fine with how it used to be
You can’t just force it on me since I'm now old
Ive hardly lived but your story is told
I think I’ll run miles away
Until I find reason to stay
Turned me out with your eye
My soul has learned not to sigh
Remember when I couldn’t
You never said I shouldn’t
So I did it to spite the wellness in your veins
But the skin I’m scrubbing at is mine with stains
I don’t even know if it tainted
The same things we agreed we hated
Only one, only one, they tell me so
I’ll give it back if for sure I’ll know
I’m waiting, waiting
They’ll never cut these wires
They keep me together, keep them out
You cut a few, loosened when I let you
Why did you persist in twisting me darker?
