Manipulator
Heart
Behind bulletproof glass
Entries into empty spaces
You want to see what you want to see what you want to see
So I'll give you what you need so you don't
Manipulate me
Is it any wonder
That I'm lonely
When I don't let anybody in
Fuck
Is there peace
Is it comfortable
Is it cold
Always avoiding the issues and those I love
If I let you in then you would tear me apart
I know
Keep the animals close
Keep the animal's jaws closed
I know I'm fucking it up
Watching the clock tick
Tick Tock go to the dogs
Pushing away the hand that feeds
Ignoring the help in favor of grief
Stranded in the ocean swimming further from the raft
Causing a car crash just to watch it burn
The only good things in my life get burned by me
I'm sorry.
Show me your insides
And I'll show you mine
You'll see what you want to see
But you'll never see
The broken frame that's underneath
Cuz I'll tear you open 'till I have you down
(I've got you now)
Ready to rip you apart and watch you drown
(I'll watch you fucking drown)
If it comes to it
This is what you wanted
A breakdown
A break out
A breakthrough
A better version of me for you
If I let you in then you would tear me apart
Where I can't be defended can't pretend
I've hidden my scars in the dark
How's that for a start?
You begged me to open up and now you don't know what to do
When I'm not fake
When I'm not safe
Every time I try to let me out I feel the scars tearing at my heartbeat
When I was a kid I was taught to not be vulnerable
Beat down
Can't remember how to be me
Now I'm scared that if I let you in you'll
Wait till I feel safe and then you'll
Shove me over the edge
And I'll fall
Back down
Where I just
Climbed out
Years of progress wasted
all because I was honest
One
Fucking
Time
Show me your insides
And I'll show you mine
You'll see what you want to see
But you'll never see
The broken frame that's underneath
Cuz I'll tear you open
'till I have you down
(I've got you now)
Ready to rip you apart
and watch you drown
I'll watch you fucking drown
So I sit alone in a barbed wire cage watching
You and the world go by without me
But when you really need I'll be here
I'll be here to listen and tell you what you need to hear
I'll tell you what you want to hear
Saying a lot while saying nothing at all
Behind bulletproof glass
Entries into empty spaces
You want to see what you want to see what you want to see
So I'll give you what you need so you don't
Manipulate me
Is it any wonder
That I'm lonely
When I don't let anybody in
Fuck
Is there peace
Is it comfortable
Is it cold
Always avoiding the issues and those I love
If I let you in then you would tear me apart
I know
Keep the animals close
Keep the animal's jaws closed
I know I'm fucking it up
