Death Traps

Death traps and thrills that are just like you.
It's amazing how you say so much
When you don't say anything at all.

And often times I get confused
And misread what shouldn't be misread.

Blow that paper plane over;
With your love carved in it.
Somehow that beautiful piece of paper
Managed to fuck me over,

So I bent it's wings and sent it back your way.

It's amazing how you shock me
Through those stunningly semi-fogged eyes.

And often times I get confused
And feel what shouldn't be felt.


What I like best about you?
How you hold such a strong presence;
How you ignite the feelings I've buried as deep as they'd go;
How you would turn the world around in your palm;
Just through a few words;

And how you kill each promise oh-so-quietly.

It's amazing how you create what you call "us"
Just through a collection of maybes and could have beens.

And often times I get confused
And danced with joy that shouldn't exist.


I'm pretty sure I'm tempting fate;
But I guess I seek thrills through
Death traps such as
You.
