It's like giving matches to paper dolls
So there's this super amazing hip hop collective in the Twin Cities called Doomtree, and one of the rising stars is this chick Dessa. She has this intoxicating blend of spoken word, rap and singing with really incredible lyrics... and of course I hear Buffy's story in her lyrics. Because I always hear Buffy's story.
Check these lyrics out and tell me if this isn't a perfect description of Buffy and Spike at their most destructive:
Uh, tried sweet talk, tried dynamite
But I sleepwalk back to the battle site
Fight fire with fire but the fire won't fight
We just fly these circles like tired kites
And you flash some fang
And I bat my lashes
And we're back again
No end to this game with matches
We've been lovers and strangers and friends who get angry
Made mistakes and amends and brief moments of magic
We forgive and forget and give in to attraction
This whole thing depends on amnesia and madness
And I'd be leaving for good, I'd be looking for better
But I got this broken habit I keep gluing back together
The fever, the fire, the feathers
The fever defies measure
And good sense won't venture where the moth will go
