loitering

They say loitering is a victimless crime
But you walk outside my building to pass the time
You know where my apartment door is
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to press charges

You could ring the bell, I'd buzz you in
But you stand outside, you're pacing
You know what number my floor is
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to press charges

Hungry, I'm so hungry
I could consume temptation itself
My breath is teal, and I am pale
I'm shaking in the light, it reflects on your scales

They say loitering is a victimless crime
In all honesty, I know I shouldn't mind
But there are flashes of you in the darkness
I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to press charges

Your eyes are brown like the greedy ground
And I am stored six feet down
I talk to the dirt
And I baptize it as human
No one will ever see me around
But once in a while, you may hear the sound
Of my echo through the woods
And wonder if I'm even human

They say loitering is a victimless crime
Existing in public shouldn't be fined
But you can keep your money
I'd rather you rot in jail
