Trojan Horse

Trade skin for razors
They cut you deep
Trade lies for secrets
You cannot keep
My fingers tracing
Veins under flesh
Your hands upon me
Your bittersweet caress

My mouth a fortress
My tongue a steady blade
Your lips a ballroom
Your words a serenade
Croesus to Lydia
I'll see you through
Now til forever
I fucking love you

Your crown of roses
My crown of thorns
You wear the halo
I hide the horns
You're inconsolable
For what it's worth
I never will be
Fucking good enough

My mouth a fortress
My tongue a steady blade
Your lips a ballroom
Your words a serenade
Croesus to Lydia
I'll see you through
Now til forever
I fucking love you

My mouth an empire
My tongue a trojan horse
Your lips are parted
Your words have lost their cause
In this, I've failed you
Some things I won't accept
I cannot lose you
You're all I fucking have left
