Double Edged Sword


The sharpest weapon she has is her tongue
She is careless and overbearing
Unmoved by a passer-by's smile,
She slows for nothing but the weight of a material stare

She groans for approval and waits for it
Everybody listen
We know it's gold the way she kisses
She leaves stars in our eyes when she is listless

I know I'm out of control everytime she passes my way
I'm left to stand in the dust and debris and the aftermath she leaves in her path
I run circles while the insects feed on my flesh
And she lights a smoke and says with a smile - run and get me another daiquiri
Ain't it funny the grip she has on everyone she passes through
I'd walk through hell and back and still I know that that won't do
I've seen a thousand dreams crushed by surfeit of her lies
Ain't it funny the grip she has around the necks of the ignorant like us
Not me anymore I know I've seen it I'd kill to shine her shoes
I've got her she's mine she offers what I can't refuse
I'll break these chains that bind me I'll shut her mouth
I'd rather be blind then go to hell with two eyes
She's not a temptress I can't withstand
