lemon

I feel him sprouting in my greenhouse Growing wings inside my lungs He sets the other plants on fire The weight of the heat drags me to the ground Cocooned inside a studio apartment His dinosaur jacket stained in sweat He knocks on my door every fucking hour Calling me to come out and play But I'll dance, overlooking his pretty face Chained in bed, I'm not getting out of here I wanna watch him run out of breath With my palms choking his neck He makes me hate myself Someone get him out of here Like a fox cub, I'll eat what I have I'm skin and bones, I can't hunt yet I'm breastfed, my body's tongue-cleansed I'm just a man child underneath the flesh But I'll dance, overlooking his pretty face Chained in bed, I'm not getting out of here Worn beyond, this cannot be my fault Iced lemonade, I'm not getting out of here
