Treacherous Thing

You keep insisting
I’m what you’re missing
But you’ve yet to get inside
Storms and witches
Wounds and stitches
It ain’t so pretty once you’ve tried
You beg and plead
I’m what you need
And you wouldn’t be the first
Wolves surrounding
Sailors drowning
And you haven’t seen the worst
Kiss it to life
Tear it apart
I’m a treacherous thing to keep in your heart
Clean all your wounds
Curse all your bones
I’m a treacherous thing to bring in your home
Kiss it to life
Tear it apart
I’m a treacherous thing to keep in your heart
Clean all your wounds
Curse all your bones
I’m a treacherous thing to bring in your home
You see a treasure
Beyond all measure
But you’re blinded by your greed
There’s hell beneath
And jagged teeth
That bite you till you bleed
