Lyrics
A song about a young woman's quest to glean wisdom from the missteps. Come For the Poetry Half-raw from the glamour of the night when the wine whispered its selfish intentions down her thighs she slips from the bed from his hand on the small of her back finds her dangling green earrings and the little black dress tired from the colors bleeding she finds her morning eyes finds the expectation wrapped up in the lies then she slips out before he can find her dancing in the morning and as she drives her car away she delivers this final warning she says I come for the poetry and I have the scars to prove it I come for the poetry and I'm not afraid to use it I come for the poetry the in betweens the man I know you'll never be and yet I come yet I come Running to her car as if she can run from the weight her violet hair billowing behind creating her own movie again she is endlessly attempting to heave beauty into everything she leaves the flower from behind her ear the one she stole from the restaurant arrangement tired from the colors bleeding she finds her morning eyes finds the expectation wrapped up in the lies then she slips out before he can find her dancing in the morning and as she drives her car away she delivers this final warning she says I come for the poetry and I have the scars to prove it I come for the poetry and I'm not afraid to use it I come for the poetry the in betweens the man I know you'll never be and yet I come yet I come
