Looks Like You by Melodie Yvonne
Looks like you’re having a comfortable ride in that car that I built for two
Looks like you’re having an easy time, though, that seat wasn’t made for you
You’ve taken advantage of my little life and you’ve used me through and through
You’re such a seductive little whore always looking to suck someone new
A single white female, your copy paste face changes lies like a bloody chameleon
You exploit your friends, set your table with men, and ignore them except when it’s mealtime
A canvas so blank, you are void like white paint, mostly harmless till you get your hooks in
And then it’s too late ‘cause you’ve super glued fate like an ear to an open mouthed Tyson
Looks like you’re having a comfortable ride in that car that I built for two
Looks like you’re having an easy time, though, that seat wasn’t made for you
I wish I was free, but bound we will be for handles are not often shaken
As much as I run it’s like you’ve got a gun held up to my mind that you’ve taken
So I guess I’ll just hide, stay hidden inside, ‘til your beasts sleeps that I have awakened
And then I’ll be rid of your intricate web and I’ll pray that you leave me forsaken
Looks like you’re having a comfortable ride in that car that I built for two
Looks like you’re having an easy time, though, that seat wasn’t made for you
Looks like you’re having a comfortable ride in that car that I built for two
Looks like I cared, well, that’s where you erred, I’ll set fire to myself when I’m through
