Treacherous Thing

You keep insisting

I'm what you're missing

But you've yet to get inside

Storms and witches

Wounds and stitches

It ain't so pretty once you've tried

You beg and plead

I'm what you need

And you wouldn't be the first

Wolves surrounding

Sailors drowning

And you haven't seen the worst

Kiss it to life

Tear it apart

I'm a treacherous thing to keep in you heart

Clean all your wounds

Curse all your bones

I'm a treacherous thing to bring in you home

Kiss it to life

Tear it apart

I'm a treacherous thing to keep in you heart

Clean all your wounds

Curse all your bones

I'm a treacherous thing to bring in you home

You see a treasure

Beyond all measure

But you're blinded by your greed

There's hell beneath

And jagged teeth

That bite you till you bleed
