Cestoda (or A Beautiful Name for Something Ugly)

I don’t like the way her lips
Lie in symmetry
And I don’t like the way her eyes
Seem to phase through me
Tear me a new one
Where my heart should be
It’s an ugly taste but I
Still breathe her in
Because most nights she goes down
Smoother than oxygen
I still remember
All the awful things that love has been
Drain it all away until it’s dead
Taking back the promises I said
I won’t ever fall in love a
Such a pretty girl and oh
Such a pretty face
With an ugly heart that just
Feels so out of place
I don’t believe in
Letting myself fall into her ways
Again
Drain it all away until it’s dead
Breaking all the promises you said
Took a chance and let you in my head
But I won’t make that same mistake again
Never again
Like a parasite you stole all that you needed from me
Under the dying light of a burnt out Marlboro Sun you touched me
Since then on God I’ve tried but all this fear and doubt’s become me
Because the insincere claims of love have all undone me
So drain it all away until it’s dead
Breaking all the promises you said
I still feel your imprint in my bed
But I won’t make the same mistake again
No, I won’t make that same mistake again
I won’t ever fall in love again
I won’t make that same mistake a
