Scavenger

I am always on the move

Anything you say is true about me

I'll take a little piece of you

You'll take a little piece of me

And then we'll see who uses who the most deftly

And I still do not know you yet the way I fear that we will head

And once I do the love will cease

That is my curse

I bend and crease the folds of each relationship

I rub it raw until it rips

A magic trick performed for you

Immortalize you

Your eyes, your smile

Something you said one night

Offhanded throwaway line

I'll tuck it away somewhere cool and dry

Safe keeping until I can polish and grind

I am not the man to fix your broken heart

More my speed to sweep up the fallen parts

Kintsukuroi you into art of my own

Dog digging up bones

Not exactly a thief but not quite blameless

Brazen, shameless

Up in Roan Mountain I'll slip into accent

An accident I can see coming for miles

I know I'm a try hard

But this is the easy part

Assimilation easy as a smile

I have never been a hunter

I've no aim in mind

I'm simply a scavenger;

I take what I can find

Don't blame the way I was designed

And once I'm sated

Once I've sucked out all the marrow

I'll leave you lonely and confused and hollow
