I'm back again love, I see you're still in red lace
Still thinking of how I touched your skin, love?
Asking me how my fingers could translate something across your frame
So proper, almost as quickly as the drugs I exhume
You've seen what I was, what I could be, and what I became
Strange times with strangers, call for new lines of measures
Your pale white skin looks so good against the black thoughts I recall
From your scalp, over your breasts in free-fall
I stand in awe in your free-form, you're a canvas for my taking
All I need is a pen, and you become my new best painting
I don't just write for the thought of rap
I write because my emotions are what music sounds like when I run the tapes back
I'm sorry if I pressed down too hard
I'm sorry if these tattoo'd words scarred you across both your margins
With every letter, don't you feel closer to God?
Who else could possess such a talent? --
You can search, but I would pity your odds
And you can flirt, but I've worked too damn hard
To let you rip away from my creases, and let you find your theatrical heart
Because truthfully, I've been left by much too many
And I've spent too many fortunes over a penny
I've had my closest turn deafeningly silent;
When their hands lacked word of who tempts me
And only to whisper sweet sorrows in my ear when the knives began twisting
Maybe that's why I love you so much
You have no hands to stab me with, no feet to leave me gladly with
No mind to try and ravish me with
And no mouth to spread lies or other fallacies to present
I suppose that's why I love you so much
Because my hands molest your body,
In ways men have only dreamed of when haunting
Because my eyes rape your curves until the sunrise
Because my mouth speaks truths in sequence,
And you hate how they lie near your spine
I know that's why I love you so much
No other reason to find a woman, if I have one I can rush on decisions
Manipulate in ways, I've only dreamt in my fanatical lust
To only stash her away in quiet remorse when I realize what I've been living
I know that's why you're the only one I trust
