grifter
shapeshifter
wields the might of Genghis khan
sticks to the shadows
keeps down low
leaves no impression
blends in
if not through deception
then what then?
what then
what’ll you do
when the black shadow
of the burning man
comes to burn for you?
will you make like a moth
will you take off
where is there to hide
if it’s not safe inside?
safety lies
you’re always at risk
next time you make passes
reach for your glasses
this place is molasses
you’re stuck in the tar pits
drowning in blackness
never be hapless
next time please adapt then
you’re getting predictable
you’re always a laugh, kid
i’ll make sure you panic
next time you’re a rabbit
i’m tortoise
shellack this
you receive no passes
so feign to be tragic
JD Jurado -it’s about being attracted to someone who is dangerous but not wanting to acknowledge that fact.
