Placeholder

3rd of 3

I will be your placeholder
if you will be my place
you can take whatever you want
and I'll just take up space
I'll sincerely mean it
if you will say I love you
fill my head with pretty lies
and I'll speak only what's true
I'll douse myself in gasoline
if you provide a spark
I'll end up scorched and deadened
you'll walk away without a mark
I'll be the petals on your rose
if you will be my thorns
I'll bring you beauty, when I hold you I'll bleed
can't say that I wasn't warned
and I will be your gracious host
if you will be my parasite
I'll feel my strength leech into you
in my destruction we'll both take delight
