Mystery Girl

We lie to
Each other
We love to
Deny it
We live like
We’re pirates
In search of
New plunder
I don’t feel the same
Anymore
I rattle my cage as I
Kick down the door
With those bloodshot eyes
My heartbeat seems
To stop all the time
She could see through the green
Wake up tonight and
The crickets are chirping
What are you trying to deny
To the eye of the serpents
Ignore the signs
It’s just a dreadful life
Take off your eyes, oh
For the rest of your days
