I'm an Experience

If life was meant to be easy we'd have never crossed paths If secrets were meant to be dirty my heart wouldn't trespass Yeah I darkened your door You preen and look pretty but I just laugh You're tethered to demons that dwell in your recent past What are they good for? He's the reflection of a rain cloud Upon a shining silver lake He's a poet's lament, the late night regret I'm his biggest mistake I'm an experience Dorian's portrait lurks in shadows cast by night A heartbreaking reminder of all that used to be right And he sits alone with his addictions, his vices, his fictions, his crisis of identity I've stopped answering his calls since he's ceased to exist Unaware of it all but here comes the plot twist He was never there at all and those demons are actually me He's the seduction of innocence to ingenues He's the reduction redundant of soulful blues He's the seduction of innocence to ingenues He's the reduction redundant of soulful blues No more heartbreak Experience is merely the name men gave their mistakes I'm an experience!
