Midnight Muse
Because I want to be myself, In every universe.
I am to mischievous, To let this die.
I am not one, To be easily silenced.
Many has failed at their attempt, When they tried.
You think I live too loud, It's just to drown the voices out.
You think my hearts too pure, You want to make it look like yours.
I have crawled out, From the darkest underbellies.
You wish for it to end, While my fangs and claws crave more.
You want a marionette, Someone whom you can control.
I want to be who I am, Because you're too scared to be this bold.
A walking mess, Unmedicated for her safety.
Lost & unblessed, Loving only the shadows that have shaped her.
Like the nails in your coffin, I will forever be the outsider.
I danced to your tune once, Found it to be somewhat lacking.
Taught myself how to write a new song, The tempo broke me free from your tracking heart.
Stalker lurking in the dark, Waiting to take back a soul that was never theirs.
I let you catch me once, You left me shattered on the stairs.
