Come Undone
Come undone
In our lives full of lies
Some who cheated
Some who were defeated
We’re little killers, we hide
Behind pretty faces
How I love to strip you
Naked, do you mind?
I want to see your insides
Does it pain?
Like heartbreaks do
When you lover died
Did you wonder if you’ll make it through?
And what about your mother
Who stood by the door crying?
When you chose to be
Honest to yourself who was defying
Ever childhood truth unlearnt
You want to know how it felt to be burnt
Before you could even
Begin to feel purged
How could I, you sing
Begin to control the urge?
When it rains
And shadows dance
Old sins, they come revisiting -
You face them in honor
And you don’t budge
You don’t flinch
In your scarce horrors
You try to unmask
The inglorious you
Taking self to task
The baby you gave up
It whines uncontrollably
You know it’s just a bad figment
Of another bad dream
A canned dream
How I wish you would
Allow yourself to scream
And say, never mind
I’m made of mistakes
And that’s how I leant
To know I wasn’t fake
Not cosmetic
Just living a shame
More mistakes?
I’m game
How I wish
You and I
Would strip and bathe
In natural sunshine
And burn the scars
Till they turn to ashes
And know that in time
Even the strong one crashes
Is such a bad idea
To come undone?
Treat yourself some dignity
Accord the hurt some rights?
Stay, linger
Just touch it deeply
Deep inside
Your love, your life
Why don’t you come undone?
