• It’s human to always want
    what we can’t have.
    It’s human to take advantage
    of what we do have.
    So it’s ok if you
    turn me into your play thing
    I don’t care as long as you feel guilty.

    You’re not the innocent prince charming I dreamed of.
    But you are a crowning surrogate,
    That I don’t intend to replace.
    I could never tire of our game,
    but if I kiss you will it be my bane?

    I do not want to hurt you
    I do not have that intention.
    Our world is different from theirs.
    They may hate us for our immodest love,
    but at least the feelings don’t begin with lies,
    or end with hateful goodbyes.

    To the good boys and girls
    In the rule steady world
    And to the immaculate
    Ones with their pretty papers
    We put on the burlesque act
    You cannot imitate
    You are our audience of envy

    Our hearts have been previously dismantled
    He is my lovely broken consort
    His hungry kisses leave me high
    Passionate strokes make me cry
    Show me how to put a hold on time

    I do not want to hurt you
    I do not have that intention.
    Our world is different from theirs.
    They may hate us for our immodest love,
    but at least the feelings don’t begin with lies,
    or end with hateful goodbyes.

    Let me be your sanctuary
    Let them hold their grudge
    You’re the judge
