Maybe if you didnt tell


Maybe if you didnt tell us

sex was the be all, end all

Maybe the sucubus 

wouldn't have such an intoxicating call

Maybe if  you helped us understand

and not just say "It's wrong"

Maybe we wouldnt break the ban

instead we'd play along

Maybe then we'd wait till marriage

but then again not all of us can

You still do disparage

so I become a con man

You expect me to discuss this

but also try to cover my eyes

I'll barely even mention the kiss

as far as you know I left with the guys

I've been confused my whole life

and I was just so curious

This truth didn't cut like a knife

to be frank, it's no longer mysterious
