Braids

Willful, restless
I turn this old car south
impulsive, boiling
looking for a way out
foolish, prideful
I shake your hand off my arm
broken, tired
I don't know who you are
 
Imposing impostor
under me like a monster
in shadows in silence
just how you like it
I put my hair in braids
I put my hair in braids
 
Deflated, anxious
nerves pump through my blood
disheveled, unsettled
I drag my name through mud
Righteous, unsuspecting
just like a babe in the woods
disillusioned, let down
a cheated thief caught with the goods
 
Imposing impostor  
under me like a monster
in shadows in silence
just how you like it
I put my hair in braids
I put my hair in braids
 
Selfish, selfish
mentioned twice cause such is life
scouts honor, honest
you probably caught me in a lie
real talk, genuine  
I don't know the state we're in
terrified, in love
knowing it's not enough
 
imposing impostor
under me like a monster
in shadows in silence
just how you like it
I put my hair in braids
I put my hair in braids
