you and you

nobody never knows you that way sitting on heirlooms from far away a dress that was sewn for motherly lives moths have now eaten its pearly waste nobody never knows you that way falling in love is like falling in line you think what you get back will ease the pain a strange deal, unspoken, faces entwined nobody never knows you that way theres blood and monsters you've taught to hide and if you behave they wont reappear yearning for a fleshy way to speak nobody never knows you that way the moons and the suns have multiplied you hear my plea "i'm safe now, i can" so what keeps you from proving me wrong "nobody never knows you that way"
