songs/poems i write

cult leader for a day

chorus

let's all decide

that for now we'll hide (behind our pride)

keep our keys in our pockets

in case our hearts fly open and we have to lock them

verse

lock your knees at night

unlock them when you stand upright

let the blood rush to your toes

so your brain goes fuzzy and your eyes close

chorus

let's all decide

that i'll be your cult leader for a day

believe me, i can make it all go away

pay me in your soul if you please

just cut out your heart

and give me your keys

bridge

you're putting on a show,

are you dead?

or should i throw a rose?

your death with wreak no havoc

i'm looking for my key

but i don't think i have it

chorus

let's all decide

that for now we'll tear off our old hide

break our dangerous habits

in case life comes

and we have to accept it

verse

my heart's open wide,

this should be it,

but i don't feel alive

will my death wreak havoc?

there's only one way to find

and it's to be my habit.

the whole "lock your knees at night" thing was from my music teacher yelling at me to not lock my knees when i sing or else when i unlock them all the blood will rush from my head down and i'll faint or something. anyway i'm slightly more proud of this one than the last ones but it's still sHeT
