an invitation once declined
will not be extended again
we met as strangers and i’m happy with this
no need to part as friends
i’m getting out clean
and maybe it seems a little mean
to you
but when you’ve seen the things
these walls have seen
and when you’ve screamed the screams
of broken dreams
you’ll tell me
i get you
every once in awhile one needs
to let the instincts do what they do
every once in awhile one needs
to not hear the lie that will never be true
i’m just happy
you don’t want to eat my soul
don’t want to take my money
don’t see me as too old
to be desirable just on my own
without the need for perks
or benefits
you’re just being benevolent
yeah
we fucked now get the fuck out
but thank you
for not being a monster
or at least not the one you think you are
you’re not trainwreck, just a stalling car
upon whose hood burned out a falling star
you decided what you want to be
and i then decided to wholeheartedly agree
every once in awhile
the bottle needs a little shake
the burrow needs to hide a snake
because that’s what it was made for
nothing more
