Strike a match and light the gas, you make some smoke To try to mask your horrid past and your wounded soul Your aftermath, a heart of glass, now cracked and cold And it bleeds upon all that I try to give In desperation, I try to save this, I'm left with nothing Projecting patterns, the mirror shatters, your image, crumbling A spark ignites when we fight or when we're fucking I become blind and I submit to skin Displace all my good intentions Paint me as black as the walls I'm left to rot in the questions Pull me in then you withdraw Break down my body and mind and soul Display me upon your pedestal From between your thighs, you take control I'll let you play God, I'll be the null Cause I'm a shell of a man and I don't love myself You place me up on the edge, cage me in fear and contempt And then you pull me back in, I start to spiral again Just chain me to those sheets and do what you want to me I'll be whatever you need, just promise you'll never leave Is it love, is it lust Maybe it's all the above It's an addiction and The hooks won't stop sinking in I don't know how to love myself So, I guess, for now, I'll just submit to skin
