you feign i’m your monster
you say you’re misled
i’m curved to your liking
sprawled atop your bed
if caustic is my nature
then why do you taste sweet?
i’m fallen like a seraph
drawn across your feet
my friend, how do you see me?
my friend, how do you see me?
i don’t forget the fractured lines
and loaned soliloquies
my friend, how do you see me?
well, frankly you seem upset
‘cause you’re pulling at your necktie
i’m lying in my dress
you laud my endeavors
you call me your best
your land of milk and honey
with my legs upon your chest
if i am your off limits
then why do you lack sleep?
you’re far beyond the boundaries, darling
of she’s not mine to keep
my friend, how do you see me?
my friend, how do you see me?
i don’t forget the fractured lines
and loaned soliloquies
my friend, how do you see me?
well, frankly you seem upset
‘cause you’re pulling at your necktie
i’m lying in my dress
you’re pulling at your necktie
i’m lying in my dress
you want me for quickly
to prove how i am caste
i’m yours for the taking
when you’re kneeling to the past
if all the books you’ve read of
tell you that i deceive
you’ll find your rapture worthy
with the goodly belle juive
my friend, how do you see me?
my friend, how do you see me?
i don’t forget the fractured lines
and loaned soliloquies
my friend, how do you see me?
well, frankly you seem upset
‘cause you’re pulling at your necktie
i’m lying in my dress
my friend, how do you see me?
my friend, how do you see me?
i don’t forget the fractured lines
and faux solemnities
my friend, how do you see me?
well, frankly you seem upset
‘cause you’re pulling at your necktie
i’m lying in my dress
you’re pulling at your necktie
i’m lying in my dress
you’re pulling at your necktie
i’m lying in my dress
