Feline


 

Eyes that mesmerize

 

Fangs masked by smiles

 

These are all the makings of a cold-blooded feline

 

Soft to the touch

 

Purs that warm you up

 

Paws filled with claws that you never even saw

 

Look the other way, don’t be naive

 

Your instincts are telling you “ to flee”

 

The mousetrap is on display

 

With the cat looking for it’s pray

 

Look the other way

 

Heart as cold as stone

 

Veins dried to the core

 

Numb to the feelings and the love and the squealings

 

Look the other way, don’t wanna bleed

 

Because this feline wants to feed

 

All of this pain was meant to be

 

A replacement for what she seeks

 

She can’t control the way she is

 

It’s her nature to lure them in

 

And everytime she realizes the pain she’s given

 

Look the other way

 

Don’t be naive

 

Unless you want to seethe and hear your screams

 

This cold hearted killer

 

Has no pulse or no beat

 

Stray away

 

Don’t get too close or you’ll be caged

 

Afterwards, your heart will never be the same

 

Look the other way, listen to what I say

 

This is her predestined fate

 

But maybe I can change the amount of ache that she makes

 

Look the other way
