Since the deadline is tonight, here's my song. Enjoy.
Tender
Verse 1
Time is heavy, my bones, they creak
Don't leave me too long
I wait, ready, I'm soft, I'm weak
You're tough and you're strong
Pre-chorus
Don't need a name to know you by
I won't cry out at all tonight
Chorus
I am tender, pick at me
Nothing but a piece of meat
Hope is forsaken
I am tender, consume me
Before time can ruin me
Yours for the taking
I'm tender, pick at me
Before you ruin me
Verse 2
Repose, unfold, words have escaped
I wait for your love
The bed is cold, come desecrate
The tomb we have dug
Pre-chorus
Don't need a name to know you by
I won't cry out at all tonight
Chorus
I am tender, pick at me
Nothing but a piece of meat
Hope is forsaken
I am tender, consume me
Before time can ruin me
Yours for the taking
I'm tender, pick at me
Before you ruin me
Bridge
You've my father's eyes, tired behind the whites
But you're nowhere near as blind
Send me out to sea, once you're done with me
Leave my dignity behind
You've my father's years, do you have his fears?
Are they buried in your mind?
Kiss me on the mouth, don't let screams come out
I am broken in your bind
You've my father's hands, all of his commands
Is your hatred here enshrined?
You've my father's love, never good enough
That's all I try to find
Pre-chorus
But will you discipline the boy?
And will you destroy all his joy?
Chorus
I am tender, pick at me
Nothing but a piece of meat
Hope is forsaken
I am tender, consume me
Before time can ruin me
Yours for the taking
I'm tender, pick at me
I am tender, pick at me
Nothing but a piece of meat
Hope is forsaken
I am tender, consume me
Before time can ruin me
Yours for the taking
I'm tender, pick at me
Before you ruin me
Before you ruin me
Before you ruin me
I might delete this post later.
