Mauve

The words that the slipped out your mouth
It wasn't an accident
Reflections of your twisted thoughts
Devices of archaic ignorance

Does it give you a sense of power
To discount anything that'd shatter your fragile masculinity

Did it occur to you what you've buried in my mind
Did it occur to you that in a moment you've distorted my sight

Oh how I wish my words could wrap themselves around your neck
And strangle the life from out your bones
Pages to fuel the flame that turns your body into ash
And send your soul to the black lodge

You talk as if it was yours to take
You talk like you were born to own it
But it's harmless, just a joke with the boys
On a night when we spotted a lonely passer by

I froze up, couldn't bring myself to fight back
I understood you clearly but I grant you doubt
Would you say it again if you look me in the eye
Would you say it again if it happened to you

Oh how I wish my words could wrap themselves around your neck
And strangle the life from out your bones
Pages to fuel the flame that turns your body into ash
And send your soul to the black lodge
