pesticide

these are the lyrics to a song i wrote about the relationship between joel and ellie in the game "the last of us". you can listen to the song here:

turn around and trust that i will catch you 

lay down i want you to feel vulnerable 

cause you're the mona lisa and i am jut a tourist trying to catch a glimpse

leave a light on and show me what you are, not what you want to be in the dark 

when the day breaks, i'll be loving you still

your secrets, safe with me

i'll be your pesticide and keep the bad bugs away

when the sky falls down and no man bears a crown 

i will be the roof above your head

i've never been a saint, but worship you is all i wanna do

take two steps back and one to the right, align yourself with the sun that's shining through

if you listen real close, you can hear the birds sing

if you close both of your eyes you'll find the missing link

please trust me with a promise you think i'm gonna break

and i'll open up the gates

when the day breaks, i'll be loving you still

your secrets, safe with me

i'll be your barricade and make your enemies obey

when the truth comes out but all you feel is doubt

i'll be fighting monsters under your bed

lay underneath the thin ice you tread

i'll forgive you for the worst thing that you ever said
