Principessa

You used to listen to those songs
To tell me the things
You were too afraid to say

You used to share the books
To let me know I wasn't as open
As I used to say

Baby, I played every card
Why'd you make it so hard??
You don't want to win
You're just sick of the game

But she lives there
Deep inside
Like a cancer
Deep in your ear

You used to say the things smiles are made of
You used to touch me like no one else was there
In the middle of anywhere

You used to whisper little things
Tickle the fancy, whet the appetite
But now you get it anywhere

Baby, I made every move
You chose silence and dissassociation
I'd give you the air out of my lungs
One of my favorite drugs

But there she is again
Stabbing knives with her eyes
Selling buy one get one
On each of her lies

Straps and things with buttons
The smoke is thick
And you ask a little tighter
The other slipping between your thighs

But there she is! There she is!
There she is! There she is!
Goddamn emotional attrition!
Narcissistic nepotism!
