On a bender bent backwards, bones break
Agoraphobe descending needing more space
Both weights at close range on a tightrope
mimicking a balance that pivots in the middle
push and pull causing me to swivel
drop in a frenzy with no safety net
something wrong cause I’m playing with death
choose your weapons wisely, sharpen up the sickle
bagpipes marching with blood drops starting to trickle
down the spine to align in your great design
wrapped around you finger
come one come all to view the human pretzel
linger like a lost pup looking for a home
but you pushed me aside and left me alone
blowing whistles and snapping fingers whenever you wanted
dead dog with wagging tongue weak tail pulsing flat line
all bets off shooting craps snake eyes in a winner take all
embraced like I’m the enemy whos pride you have to break
take lives in such a haste and make no mistake
I laid in the bed you made deprived sleep
Blindly working for something that wasn’t mine to keep
Whistle while I work to ignore the labor
Becoming a stranger developing fits of anger
Rocking back and forth reassuring myself everything will work
So naïve, blind faith applied
Surely relationships end like the ones televised
Im a sucker for multiplex hype
We have to end in sunshine right???
Friend lover lover friend where the fuck does this relationship end??
Friend lover lover friend where the fuck does this relationship end??
Somewhat memorable the day you wanted to leave
For the fact you made it hard to breath
Crafty with sharp objects making my heart bleed
Grabbing your car keys and simultaneously leaving your markings
Bitch was territorial carving tally points for every victim
Next in line doomed via kisses zombie process leaving me indifferent
Carcass tied and dragged through a road of lies and facts
Ferocious appetite for destruction causing her to dine and dash
Demolition diva with dynamite bricks armed to blast
Promised shed never harm
but nowadays I commemorate with flags at half mast
