Succubus

Verse 1
You wore him like a fashion accessory
A pretty boy draped on your arm
Feeding his ego and feeding yours too
Never once tending his heart
You love the idea of him, but not the man
Reality don’t matter to you
It’s the shine he casts when he stands by your side
That’s the only truth you choose
Chorus
You used him up like a succubus
Draining the light from his eyes
Stealing his dreams
Treating him like a mirror
To prove your worth, your lies
You hurt him deep and stole his youth
Just to feel adored and seen
You wore him like a fashion accessory
Not a soul with hopes and dreams
Verse 2
You took so much from that young man
Your hunger swallowed him whole
Your ego sucked the future out
Of everything he could’ve been
You never should’ve let it happen
But greed is a powerful sin
You wanted the praise of having a beautiful boy
Wanting to be with you again
Chorus
You used him up like a succubus
Draining the light from his eyes
Stealing his dreams
Treating him like a mirror
To prove your worth, your lies
You hurt him deep and stole his youth
Just to feel adored and seen
You wore him like a fashion accessory
Not a soul with hopes and dreams
Bridge
You had a husband, family, children
Vows you should’ve kept
But you chased the glow of a younger man
And left destruction where you stepped
You wrapped him round your wrist like gold
A trophy hiding your bitter frown
Never caring how he crumbled
While you strutted around in your crown
Final Chorus
You used him up like a succubus
Draining the light from his eyes
Stealing his dreams
Treating him like a mirror
To prove your worth, your lies
You hurt him deep and took his fire
Just to feel adored and seen
You wore him like a fashion accessory
Not a soul with hopes and dreams
Just a boy you used for glory
In your selfish, hollow scheme
