jade iverach - a burst balloon (a very rough demo)

If I'm not here to love you what am I here for?
My limbs are made of string that ties to you
But in my stomach there is helium
Just not enough and still I cannot move
I fear someday I'll grow in size
And not know how to make it stop
And instead of breaking the string
I'll only break my rubber skin
And fall before your shoes a burst balloon
And that is all I'll ever be to you
If I'm not here to love you what am I here for?
You are the job that keeps me occupied
I don't need to be satisfied to feel alive
And I've never felt more alive in my life
I pull and pinch my skin I twist
Myself into your favourite shapes
And rewrite every sentence you don't like
I am a heart-shaped mirror with two sides
And we are only waiting here to pass the time
I may stand nude before you but it's only I
Who has every inch of my figure memorised
Who feels the crossing of my fingers from behind
Loving you's a bore it's not what I'm here for
I just sit here ever patient for
My body to blow up from the inside
And my insides, they are not to be adored
I fear that I am growing and
I don't think I can make it stop
Instead of breaking strings I'm only
Tearing at my rubber skin
I fall before your shoes a burst balloon
I'm happier a failure than your muse
