Deny me.
Deny my everything.
It’s what you need to live,
what you believe will give
you what you need;
an opportunity to breathe,
but you’re drowning in the deep.
Look away from me.
Two steps away
and you’ll agree;
the grass is greener.
You’re a big believer.
Now, another two or three
and I can see
you’re fighting
not to turn and look at me.
Your great escape
was just
thirteen steps;
you maybe made it six,
before you needed a fix
and now you’re in between
me
and an impossibility.
I heard your breath catch
in your throat,
every time I
wrapped my arms around you.
So deep inside you,
you could cope
and I’d sing you to sleep,
while killing you softly.
And now there’s that fear
in your eyes
and the air is sharp
against your skin,
and you wish your heart
would skip a beat
as you beg
for me
again.
But you’ve moved another
step away
and I can’t get to you
on my own.
You’re going to have to
come back to me;
if you love me,
you’ll take me home.
But you’re a sick little betrayal.
I know the lies that made you.
You know I’ve hated you
this whole time.
That’s why your friends left you
and your family hurts you,
but I’ll never desert you;
you are mine.
All you long for
and all you’ve ever wanted,
is to feel me in you;
screaming,
then you stop resisting.
You’re a perfect angel.
I won’t let them take you
without dying.
Somehow,
unbelievably;
your taking
another step
away from me.
Then another;
they’re coming faster, now.
You’re running into
some future after our,
beautiful love,
you deny,
deny me,
my everything;
running away from me.
I bet you think you’re free now,
but I’ll be there with you;
waiting there,
waiting in your tissue.
So, run away,
run away.
You can’t hide from me,
but you can
run away,
run away.
This isn’t the first time
I have been denied,
so run away,
run away.
Run away,
run away.
I’ll be here when you change your mind.
