My Little Despot

You're my one little weakness
We know each other's secrets
We swore never to repeat this
To another living soul

You're my little genius
Our plans we're seamless
Whoever would believe
This could spin so out of control?

Your my little despot
What an iron fist you've got
Are you willing or will you not release
The hearts that you hold

And you peel back the fingers that clutch
Oh have I show you too much
I know you do what you must
Simply to survive

Has it gotten dangerous?
No one should love you this much
And with your legendary touch
You turned out the light

In the blue of the evening
The light gets deceiving
Now I'm barely breathing
But never felt so alive

And I smell the history
In the burning mango tree
And just where this path will lead
I must let fate decide for me

You peel back the fingers that clutch
Oh have I show you too much
I know you do what you must
Simply to survive

Has it gotten dangerous?
No one should love you this much
And with your legendary touch
You turned out the light

You look just like a seamstress
With a needle between your lips
The thread that you're weaving with
Unravels and unwinds

And that's all to the wreckage
With some kind of mixed messages
Was it all just in my head?
Was it all in my mind?
