If you're gonna tell 'em everything
Tell 'em I'm a good kisser
Tell 'em all the things you told me
In your desperate whisper
- Good Kisser, Lake Street Dive
As the newest character
in the stories you tell
in an attempt to feel clean
may i make some requests
for the second draft?
tell them, please,
that i was always stronger
than you
liked.
tell them truly
how beautiful my
dreams
were
you have a duty to be honest
If you're gonna tell 'em everything
telling a story is a
powerful act
(of dominance)
as you well know.
they say history
is written by the victor,
and what they omit
is always the most telling.
when you wrote my history,
did you
Tell 'em I'm a good kisser
it is so easy to forget
the death of the author.
one a story leaves you,
it is up to others to treat it well.
and once it is gone,
it is no longer something
you alone can treasure.
be careful when giving away
experiences you did not have alone.
your intellectual property has a co-owner
that you should consult
before you
Tell 'em all the things you told me
for the sake
of future characters
i have some advice.
keep in mind -
some things, maybe
you would not be so pleased to lose
for example
the beautiful desires
In your desperate whisper
