The Master Lock Pick

How’d I let you inside of me again?

Changing locks each season;

You’ve got the universal key.

Thought I was pacing, in

Control too, but you,

By day two, have a hold on me.

Half wishes the chokehold let go,

Half wishes for more.

If my lockets so easy to pick

Am I then the open door?
