The song

I get drunk off your cantation
Your melody's a sip of gin
But when you gaze in admiration
That's when I can't hear the din

You inspire every narration
That ends up in the bin
And I'm the object of your fixation
That you just can't quite pin

I'd like to trace the constellations
All over your skin
You won't talk about cessation
You say it's not a whim

I could cross every nation
Wait out this planet's spin
But there's no likely destination
I could forget you in
And you - you'd wait a generation
To find me once again.

Determined to endure temptation
No we're not giving in
We're a viable conflation
Of two hearts merged in sin
Hoping to avoid damnation
And not let attraction win.

You

You give me something no one else can give You make me brave So that I think We could make something out of this Life could be so beautiful But I shouldn't think like this And yet, I've never felt so seen So thoroughly understood You meet me where I stand And lead me to a higher ground Just by being you.

The others

I only change for those who let me But they're too quick to forget me Already out the door As I want to give them more I'm only as happy as I choose But everyone tries to make me They're always trying to please me Instead of telling me what's wrong Am I too sentimental?  I don't ask too much.  Do I sound too certain?  They worry I will get resentful.  All the things they ask of me When in the end, I let it be I've never been one for convincing But they all say I'm a charmer It's only because I run warmer Than what they knew before I don't fake my emotions I'm no manipulator And if you got to know me,  You'd see I'm not a taker I don't fight, I won't fight I just laugh and I cry And I try real hard To make it look I'm alive.  Maybe I hide too much They can never tell my bluff I'm not misunderstood The moment they get me They're not sure if they should. Hope by hope I drip away Fading colour on my lips One by one I lose ...
