Now As She's Shameful

by: shira

Your self-depreciation just loves me
It burns my eyes too, but it's hard to breathe
And I'll march to the beat of your stocking feet
To keep up with this twirling, dangerous heat

Turn off the flame, it shoots out in sparks
It runs out of guns with bullets like hearts
That bleed when they break skin that was touched
By a love that you just couldn't take

I see your skin and I want you to win
As you lose everything you find belief in
Turn out your pockets of pennies and dimes
Cancel your dreams of money to buy
The biggest, best place to call a shack for one and a home for all
