Lil itty bitty ditty I'm putting out to get some admin sorted.
lyrics
Drugs are not a metaphor
For what you do to me
I score when you hold me
When you want me
When you kiss me
When you try
To take me deeper
Into the night
Drugs are not a metaphor
All my power leaves
I donate my will as if
You're the one in need
But it's me
And our intentions
They almost align
But I need this so deeply
You only need tonight
There is no fucking chorus
I don't know if or when
If I had to bet
I'd say I'll never see you again
And then, that's what I thought
The last few times
Until you swoon in on a Summer night
And blow my mind
Drugs are not a metaphor
There is no higher plane
My brain is a star
Burning for you
In the dark
If you think that's hot
You should see my heart
Drugs are not a metaphor
It's not even that deep
But it's not the same for you
Who has no sense of scarcity
You can have a fraction
No need to gorge the cake
It's not even that deep
You even give more
Than you take
Drugs are not a metaphor
I cannot get enough
To build up a resistance to your simulated love
The moment doesn't dull
The impression doesn't rise
I still feel your weight teasing
On the inside of my thighs
