Taught to Roar (a modern tape mix)

March 30, 2018

A Ginger Delilah

What if history got it wrong?
What if Delilah was a redhead?

Swingin jaw bone of an ass

In your defense you said

"I Only 'Dates' Good Girls"

(So my issue couldn't be his fault)

i am tired
i am sooo tired but i can’t sleep

I just took a text from another

somebody good I will never know

but who I've shared by extension

She wanted to know if she should trust herself

I said "yes" but leave me out

 it was better then the butt dial

calling your name on my voice mail

as you said "do you like that?"

an impressive half hour but I'm weary,

I'm weary and worn left unrode

you've eaten away honey from inside a lioness

Your crazy thinking you can dance unburnt

thinking you can own every fire

I know you like it hot but to much Ginger bites

she told me she saw

you cheating on us in a public place

setting fire to more fields with red headed foxy tales

she said they all looked like me but not

screaming she was going to pull the trigger

You asked if I would too but

I've already died ten thousand times before

She told me where you

kept all the good girl hearts in a box

with three locks under your bed

with your I'm-your-one-and-only key

i am tired of wanting and wishing

She told me you said I would laugh

because we were done

we were nothing
                            ............i AM tired of dreaming dreams

I wish I didn't care, how many nothings do you need?

silver at the temples turns my red hair but I'm still a flame

next time

I'm going to lay your head in my lap raise my blade

and shave off your beautiful long black,

hair into a pile at my feet then,

lead you into temple,

leave you to pull down your own walls

then history will know

 

I'm a good girl....... I roar
