lyrics

Verse 1

All that love was plus everything it wasn’t
internal affairs, internal combustion
fighting and fussing, poetry and cussing
she was my lean - emotional Robitussin
conversational homicidal - fuego to fire
lyrics written in blood - wrist split desire
if it wasn’t a fight it wouldn’t feel right
crying every night under the teal light
everything she did vs whatever she’d tell me
everything i bought vs everything she’d sell me
hell, we woulda been forever and a day
but neither of us could stop the lies - michele
simply stated neither could be debated
in the end we was torn after the fact we dated
planted on a throne with no one to call my own
stranded and alone, heart roaming for a home

Verse 2

What used to be lovely turned so ugly
wishing for someone to look out above me
tear me to pieces, release my inner demons now
baby faced i’m ghost writing for her to take a bow
suitable substances flowing from veins to brain stem
deck stacked against me - best cards i’ve played them
Stepford wives in a town full of rain men
a city of lost children nobody claimed them
can tears be defined? can time hit rewind?
can living pauper like be categorized divine?
is fame encapsulated by cocaine and models?
is middle age clarity at the bottom of bottles?
looking in the mirror what if all I see’s an old man
staring back that wonders where the time went?
lost forever never to hit clarity
wandering towards home hoping for a bit of charity
