song idea

so please excuse
the author of the story
he's just spinning tales of glory
on someone else's time
and im chomping at the bit
to see you decked out like a diamond
you're my pearl im your horizon
sniff me up and catch my drift

and i
am perfectly numb
i can't be your shooting star
when im lit up like the sun
and i
apologize for myself
in advance to only me
and never to anyone else

but don't think about the bones under the bed
even though we both know what i did
i'd much prefer
to make my skeletons dance
and don't worry about evidence
i've got innocence
built up in my veins
enough to last for days

but i
am perfectly numb
i'll fade like a shooting star
but i'm lit up like the sun
for now
im just living in the moment
breathing for my last performance
one more round to go
