Maybe

You look silly with all these men
Bat your big eyes and pouting lips
They want a piece of you and, oh, they can have it
You can count all the times on your hands
Where someone has asked for the favour,
Who's there when you come back home?
Who's there when you want an escape from the escape?

Maybe you're just too in love with your life to have a healthy relationship with it
Maybe you think "you" is a viable excuse
Maybe you know what you do is associated with hell
But you want to burn, want to burn, want to burn.

You look damn good enough to eat
You know exactly what to say and how to act
You've perfected this all for long,
Fuck, I think you're not acting.
I've been the cage and the tormentor,
You've been so frail and a godsend.
Run away, little lamb, get away
Keep running and remember how evil I am.

Or maybe it's you who lacks the introspect?
Maybe it's you who cracks the whip?
Maybe you've become what you've hated?
Maybe you're just too in love with yourself.

Hide it in depression
Hide it in anxiety
Hide it in trauma
Hide it in low self esteem
Hide it in excuses
Hide it in PTSD
Hide it in your bruises
(Fuck it)
Hide it all in me
