Jailer
My boy, covered in red We were flushed in fluorescence, the backseat a bed With a knock on the window, a flash in our eyes And an officer happy to ruin my night I let out a laugh like a shriek or a cry And you hit me reflexively quick At the time, I was stunned into silence We got just a warning I'm hoping we make it a joke in the morning You drive to my house I want us to talk but the quiet’s too loud I try to get naked again in the back I want you to see, and to want what I have When you look at me, is that all that I am? My boy, covered in red From the blood dancing harshly and quick to his head Through a body that's working three times as hard To pretend what he's screaming is straight from the heart Saying "Do you think I want that right now? On the road by your house? Are you kidding me now?" And you’re laughing at me and I don't find it funny But maybe I'll get it, alone in the morning The bed in my house Letras de cancionesI try to get off but can't picture you now The back of my eyelids are lonely and black Now all that I see is all that I have When you think of me, is that all that I am? A boy covered in blue, putting walls up around him A jailer confused, casting off all new strangers Alone at the table, saying "No one can hurt me if nobody's able" From Letras Mania
