Dull tool

You're a dull tool

A dirty puddle

A nervous heartbeat

That's a tad too subtle.

So it goes unnoticed

It goes unseen.

It longs to be messy

But it just stays clean.

I knew you were different

But I never thought it through.

I never expected to fall

so deep with you.

But tables turn

And bread can burn

And sin can slip away.

Don't you know

I'd break bones,

I'd burn thrones,

I'd throw stones....

I'd be the perfect girl

For you.

A dull tool

and a stripped screw.
