So tempting

So inviting

So poisonous

So unique

So damaging

Still so desired

So tempting

And inviting

Poisonous

Yet still unique

So damaging

Still so desired

As if I ever

Knew any better

Agitating me

Magnetizing me

Overdosing on

Your proximity

Paralyzing me

Patronizing me

Creeping through the cracks

Of what's left of me

Shedding weathered skin

Rotting deep within

Attraction bound

Hands and feet

That twist and turn

And often bleed

Carry me through thorns and mud

Towards revolting bliss

A promised land where suffering

Is all the force that keeps you in

The pleasure knowing you're a thing

Keeping it all in

Carry me through thorns and mud

Towards revolting bliss

Escape attempted, unaware

I'll crawl back in there, let me in

Illusions keep me fed and warm

As I proceed to cave in
