You don’t know me
but I’m a work of art
and if you want me to
I can tear your world apart
You don’t know me
I’d like to see you try
don’t get any closer or
you’ll need an alibi
you fill me with a
sincere despair
so close now can I
touch your hair?
I’ll be blooded
cold and clean but
I can’t promise I’ll be nice
tell me if you want to be
one with the waters
with the ice
I’ve never had a lover
who didn’t want to suffer
I’m just like a plunge pool
get your body ready for the night
what did you hear?
what do you know?
can I really love them?
if I’m not above them?
I know I’m a plunge pool
and I don’t deserve your
candlelight
sit with me
I want to watch the stars
just took one summer afternoon
to rip your mind apart
you don’t know me
and I won’t make amends
you’ll gouge a hole in yourself
if you try to be my friend
wish I could say
this time
I’d had enough
but your pain is so verbose
it gets me off
why is it so fun for me
to rip your pieces up?
stop standing in
my doorway
like I owe you
something love
come come over here
if you want to learn the rules
i’ve never had a lover
who didn’t want to suffer
I know I’m a plunge pool
a plunge pool
