FRAYED EDGES

I’m glad that I wasn’t completely mad when I first became mad about you
I was really sad when I first met you, didn’t know what I was going to do
Then I found you in between the suffering of two, broken nonetheless
But defiant like a short person fighting a giant in the killing season
We are connected by mutual kindness and a naïve kind of blindness
That’s why people fuck us over, the ones who think themselves clever
But we’ll give in never ever and will be happy together for ever after
Our days will be filled with laughter, I won’t let anyone shaft her ever again
Though neither of us are truly free, we won’t let them drive us round the bend
They won’t let you be but around me, you’re perfectly free, no need to pretend

If only things could be best in this difficult test
Time strips away the of the frayed tips of the day
Never to my behest, nothing left for us to confess
Minds drift away to dreamland: the greatest place

It’s good we took our time to get to the same line of the romance story
It wasn’t conquest I was after when I blessed you, nor was I after glory
It took a while to bring about a smile to your face, written in a stormy haste
I yearn to taste your kiss, my special miss, it’s not a race to touch your face
That would be best like a perfect written test, pure ecstasy more or less
Though you are different from the rest, no accident that you like to rest
You’ve been through a lot, stuck in a plot to take away your autonomy
They should all be shot in the neck, red dot pointing right at the enemy
I share your pain in this twisted game that is life, I shall wield the same knife
As you do, jab arseholes with dirty fits too in the zoo, creating much strife

If only things could be best in this difficult test
Time strips away the of the frayed tips of the day
Never to my behest, nothing left for us to confess
Minds drift away to dreamland: the greatest place

Please don’t hurt yourself anymore, I’ll help you to settle all your scores
All your battles are mine now, as I get rattled by the injustice more and more
Together, we’ll be strong, like feathers in a song where they don’t belong
We’ll make right all the wrongs, shedding light on the bullshit we’ve seen all along
Take my hand and fly way, understand that you’ve made my day my dearest
We could play all day long, if you say what you want to say, enchanted forest
You’re more alive than the others, not dead inside, stripped of love and pride
Won’t call you mine because you are free around me all through space and time
I’m not blind to your kind ways, to better days ahead than all the tears you’ve shed
Though both our hearts have bled, it’s time to start the crime spree with glee

If only things could be best in this difficult test
Time strips away the of the frayed tips of the day
Never to my behest, nothing left for us to confess
Minds drift away to dreamland: the greatest place
