I never thought of us as predator and prey
But if our bodies are mostly water, we’re all islands anyway
Some things are too good to be true
And you start to feel guilty that they happened to you
When you draw your self-portrait in bed
What’s depicted at the top of your head
Is it a halo or horns?
Saw you drawing maps in blood on your white evening gowns
And at every ball you wear them proud like crowns
I’ve seen you flirting with the buzzards circling your frame
They might be hungry and wild but I’m happy and tame
And I cringe when I see the culprit
Is that your secrets are keeping you
