Another boy from Oak Park
Warren Zevon
Was told
No one wanted him to play on their records
Because he was too excitable
He couldn't just chill
>
Like Warren
I only succeed
When I keep myself in check
>
I come on strong
My stare scares people
I smile too long
Diarrhea of the mouth
>
It's why I don't dance
Also why I drink
But not too much
>
Crafting a façade
Acting like a character
Who resembles me
But not too much
Because I'm scary
