lotus eaters

the plants grew along the road like an unquenchable wildfire, i remember the times you used to think i was high, but i was too busy watching the waves of emotion crash over people like the tides in the ocean, push and pull, all you wanted was one more dance, i must confess i had no chance, to renew myself or redo myself, you think i'm a crazy mess, well, i agree, and you wanted to know but i had not answer for you, trapped under the thermometer, temperature 102, give me life, give me love, give me lust, i'm sorry i know i ask for too much, that's because i know, it will never be enough, i remember when your hand drew circles on mine, your skin was cold, we were battling time, i never thought i'd become something that i'm not, but everyone does, everyone does, you think i'm crazy?, i think you think i'm crazy, well i guess i am i am certainly not a lady, but please court me, tell me you adore me, tell me there's nothing wrong i'm a perfect human being but, you never reciprocated my desires, even when we forced it, we always knew we'd be the liars who lied, too often, too much, too heavy, i'm sorry i never put you first, i really hope you get me, and you wanted to know but i had no answer for you, trapped under the thermometer, temperature 102, give me life, give me love, give me lust, i'm sorry i know i ask for too much, that's because i know, it will never be enough, it will never be enough, so i guess the moral to the story, there's no morals and no story, in your iris lies the answer, don't focus on the black centre, hurricanes can wash away the sins, that you perceive as, to be sins, my sins are spots and curls and skin, i'm sorry, you know i'm sorry, i never meant to alarm thee and i know you're not as strong as you think, you're not a diamond warrior, your feet grow roots into the earth, and i'm a tree as well but i'm growing much further away from you, no one hears us, no one hears the words we scream, they're just whispers, nightmares that scare little children in the dark, under the bed is where it's hidden, in the dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, dark, keep me awake, i'm scared to fall asleep, you used to make flowers fall slowly from the ceiling, it was magic, some kind of superhuman i can't hold it in, bursting with light but to keep me away from the heat of the fire, i left, and if you still want to know, i still have no answer for you, trapped under the thermometer, temperature 102, i'll give you life, i'll give you love, i'll give you lust, i'm sorry i know i ask for too much, that's because i know it will never be enough, it will never be enough, it will never be enough
