Amy’s here tonight
I’m exhausted
She’s in red and white
A phoenix bound for flight
Always hoped I’d be
Less in need of flattery and lights
a body drenched in night

I’d understand
Even worse
I wouldn’t even fight
I’d simply step aside
How my insides crawl
Could it be I’m the skin that warms your needs

I fell today
Fed the fear that covers her in grace

Graceless lady, soaked in maybes
Drowning in her shameless cause

This fragile thing
How I’ve used it
spun it round my mind till the thread is worn and tired
This human sting
Amy’s painting
The portrait that I’ve seen
the woman that you need
