Girls In Boxes.


So now that I am finally slowly starting to put together
All the pieces of our puzzle I've been collecting forever,
The edges worn, I find no corners,
I just want to flip this whole god damn thing over.

And all those nights of black and white disguised as red flag warnings,
And all those fights we pushed aside and just had sex till morning,
We were naive to believe
We could refuse that fire so rewarding.

I'm not going to ask, I'm not going to beg, 
I'm just going to put your in your place,
Where you can lie all you want to the darkness
On the shelf with the other girls in boxes. 

We let our egos and intentions bleed into each other.
Lost our luster deep inside the shine of lust and chroma.
I get it now - we were too proud
To admit to ourselves when it was over.

I'm not going to ask, I'm not going to beg, 
I'm just going to put your in your place,
Where you can lie all you want to the darkness
On the shelf with the other girls in boxes. 

It was me and you,
Red and blue,
And this purple stain wasn't preordained.

I can't stand this view any longer.

So now that I have finally finished putting all together
All those pieces of our future I thought would last forever,
I can't ignore, I still want more,
I just want to start this whole god damn thing over.

I'm not going to ask, I'm not going to beg, 
I'm just going to put your in your place,
Where you can lie all you want to the darkness
On the shelf with the other girls in boxes. 

You're just another girl
Now,
You're just another girl.

You're  just another god damn girl in a box.
