Allegory

Allegory

What is that light? That you’re holding on to.
I think I’ve seen it before. Maybe in your eyes, or on the floor
You may have trampled men before. But you won’t arrest me.
With your piercing stare, and those steel toed boots that you wear.

I think it’s time we write a story
But you are no allegory
I think it’s time we write a story
I think it’s time

So stick to your guns boy, you don’t want her to shoot
You just want to be, living like you should and like you do
If you don’t know the way to her heart then just cut it out and keep it close
Lord knows she’d do the same to you; she wouldn’t hesitate to hurt you

I think it’s time we write a story
But you are no allegory
I think it’s time we write a story
I think it’s time

Is this how you want to be remembered, as somebody’s bitch?
Well I don’t think you could handle it, if I told you she’s a witch
Your number one in book son, but your very last in hers
If she had her choice you would be – completely extinguished

I think it’s time we write a story
But you are no allegory
I think it’s time we write a story
I think it’s time
