CRUSH

stripped to the skin and bone
i'll be anything that you'd want to know
tell me every secret that you've ever known
desperate for your insight inside out i'll turn myself

broken into shards of glass
collect them with your bare hands, bleed and scar
etch yourself a second sense, skin imprints
can never really be let go

crush me
do you want to change your energy?
charge me
do you want to live in perfect symmetry?
crush me
do you want to know the taste of empathy?
change me
do you want to feel the pain and the ecstasy?

turn of the century child
we'll never remember such a distant time
strangest of admirers from the other side
but i fall completely consumed by the charm that you give

you could possess me with a longing gaze
wanting to be better at controlling rage
but stifled like a young bird in a cage, it cries too loud
because you never let it out
