If walls could talk,
I’d like to hear their story,
of a different worry,
of a different book.
I walked the walk for miles,
to meet the morning glory,
not to live so boring,
that I tought would be a thrill.
Things that hurt a little,
that we meet and greet through
life, that tangle us and shake us,
so that we can feel alive.
There’s more to candles that you
see, you’re blinded by the flame.
Stories of subduciton in books
of sketchy fame.
I had you in my best days, and I lost you in my worst.
I think I found a pattern, in losing things I love.
They say we have a poison, that we just can’t get enough.
A universal wanting that gets the best of us.
Things that hurt a little, that we meet and greet through life,
that tangle us and shake us, so that we can feel alive.
There’s more to candles that you see, you’re blinded by the flame.
Stories of subduciton in books of sketchy fame.
You say that you don’t want me, but you want me just the same.
I guess that I must hate you, yet I’ll wear your clothes again.
They fit me like I fit you, how I hate this awful game.
I hit you like you hit me, then we sleep, it’s all the same.
Things that hurt a little, that we meet and greet through life,
that tangle us and shake us, so that we can feel alive.
There’s more to life than people, but you’re blinded by the touch.
You wanna live full throttle, guess you want a bit too much.
Too much.
Too much.
Too much.
