Gone With The Heroined
Michael John Burkett
I got scars under my skin
From Scarlett O'Heroin
She cast a spell, she cast a lure
I fell too hard for that Jeze-belle du jour
The dragon tail marks will go away
The scalpel cuts were deep but precise enough to heal
When you're sliced up, you can cauterize the wound
But I wasn't stabbed, I was harpy harpooned
I realized I was caught when she used a chain to tie the knot
And then clicked a lock that had no combination
When you're deceived, and beaten down, and disciplined
How's a bandage gonna help when you've been skinned?
I've got scars under my skin
From Scarlett O'Heroin
Scar tissue that I will always feel
'Cause it was planted so deep within
Since then, I'm rubber, and you're still glue
I just put more layers on so no one can get through
