Fear/+/Desire - Mannequin Pussy

You beg me to build you a monument

And as it grew, oh so did all my regret

Is this what you wanted?

Does holding me down make you feel desire?

Leave my body till I can return

I’ll unlearn

All I give to you is meant to burn, burn

When you hit me

It does not feel like a kiss

Like the singers promised

A lie that was written for them

And you’re touching me

My skin it turns to mold

And I’m crying out

A story never told

I was hiding out

Is this what you wanted?

Holding me down makes you feel desired

Leave my body till I can return

I’ll unlearn

All I give to you is meant to burn, burn

I was climbing into bed and pretended to sleep

While your hands wrap around me and I silently weep

And possession is a demon that I never meant to keep

To keep

You beg me to build you a monument

And as it grew, oh so did all my regret
