Assault!
I rise and fall on the energy
Coming up
Like snow white doves, releasing their anger
Your anger
At me

But I’ve done nothing,
Nothing nothing
Nothing at all
Just slipped off my skates
Fell on my ass
Not realizing what you’ve done

Tricked me, but not so harshly
Trapped me, but not completely

I think of these words
I think of you
Sitting staring
Breathing

Liebchen It hurts, it soars
It makes me numb
That pricking sensation of sticking needles
Waking my skin up
Trickling down over my cracked lip
Bleeding a sacrifice
my alter set out
To please you but still I see you shy away
Building up walls
And me here with my chisel my hammer
Slowly cracking this glass

I see you waiting wanting me to come
But you’re so afraid of me
And yes I’m afraid
Of your assault on my senses
On my mind
Making me hungry
Cuz I’ve found something in you and you saw it in me

A reflection bouncing across the hills
Highways
And miles and miles and miles
So unstable like a small flame
Just trying to burn
Struggling, suffocating
Without the oxygen to grow
So we push and pull
At each other
Learning to trust
