You change skin

I told myself I
Won’t be hurt
When I ignore my
Heart alert
Today I will wear my
Favourite shirt
And dance my way
At tonight’s concert

You change skin
Like a bitter snake
A snake with many
Hoards that shake
Changing colour to
Adapt
To make us feel
Safe yet trapped

You told me you will
Be there for me
That I need not
Worry or flee
But now I know
That you are phony
As phony as your
Love can be

You change skin
Like a bitter snake
A snake with many
Heads

I forgive myself
For playing along
For saying that to
You I belong
The truth is, I was
Never yours

You change skin
Like a bitter snake
A snake with many
Heads that shake
Changing colours to
Adapt
To make us feel
Safe yet trapped

The truth is, I was
Never yours
Cause I don’t hide
Behind closed
Doors
