Rott & Bloom

Act I

_____________________________________________________________________________

Motives & Regrets;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Adrenaline in my heart, reckless i don't feel my steps.

NEXT

Meddling relentless with my life like twisted bets.

VEX

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

why do i risk everything?

- If I'm lucky I'll lose.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Sloth & Neglect;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We both know I'm not the one you really want.

You make it obvious as if to taunt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

why do i stay?

- Easier to pretend.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Withdrawals & Relapse;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

CAN'T THINK

abuse who i choose,

CAN'T THINK

gone quick short fuse,

CAN'T THINK

i need my muse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

why do i love to lose?

- Takes the pressure off

_____________________________________________________________________________

Day Dreams & Romance;

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Refuse to do myself favours when it comes to you,

Looking at me and my body is numb.

Shouldn't stunt your shine so I'll savour mistakes i make in front of you,

Smiling and the script i practiced doesn't make it past my tongue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

why do i sabotage myself?

- She deserves better.

Act II

_____________________________________________________________________________

Tweaking

~~~~~~~~~

Do not panic door hinges are still intact.

You are just paranoid, family is not under attack.

I'm fine:

Manic stresses toyed with your mind.

~~~~~~~~~

If i die before I wake that's okay...

_____________________________________________________________________________

Trust Exercise

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?

Broken hearted, love sick and battered do not judge me tonight.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If i gave you all the tools to hurt me... would you keep me safe...

_____________________________________________________________________________

Excuses

~~~~~~~

Guilt buzzing in my head like flies,

My life in that song i just want to be up right now.

Should be crying but my eyes run dry,

Been down too long and the night carries on.

~~~~~~~

If I take another can i hold it...

_____________________________________________________________________________

An Entertainer:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lack of wrinkles i can tell you frown often.

On days of strife i know i move lifeless.

Its a pleasure being your clown when your expression softens.

Life is short and laughs are priceless.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you knew how much i cared would you be afraid...

_____________________________________________________________________________

Act III

_____________________________________________________________________________

Nourish

~~~~~~~

Can't change the changes, i accept whats mine.

Your ordeal much like mine, i sympathize.

Strange when i am numb i feel words cry.

Breaking seals in my ego, i harmonize.

~~~~~~~

I need to smell the roses!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Sirens

~~~~~~

Only tell me the things i want to hear.

Red flags were plentiful.

Introduce me to the rest of you, would you dear?

Smiling while lying left me resentful.

~~~~~~

I need to let go!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Psalm 142

~~~~~~~~~

All these vices ain't worth their prices but lost in a crisis.

Say friend could you show me a way?

Ain't no need to have me living lifeless.

~~~~~~~~~~

I need to ask for help!

_____________________________________________________________________________

Cotton Candy

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mysterious but your genius is showing,

Gorgeous how she doesn't even notice.

Public standards are bogus, miss you're glowing.

Ferocious how she loves herself closest.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I need to be honest!

_____________________________________________________________________________

ACT IV

_____________________________________________________________________________

Conflicted these thoughts once made me piss.

Addicted to my self now it's bliss.

- Dancing with my demons and I love it.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Low light affections without your touch.

Late night reflections I'm asking too much.

- Because I am a man that does not mean all I want is sex.

_____________________________________________________________________________

Point out every problem. Persistently painting a path of pain.

"Realistic"

Radical pessimism referred to as rationality. Regrets of past mistakes.

"Impossible"

(i hate to see you die so slow)

- Mr. Cynic please get the fuck out of your own way.

_____________________________________________________________________________

a sweet treat.

Solace devoid of coin coils and physique spoils,

a rare breed.

Turmoil nourishes unique seeds beneath the soil,

a kin bloom.

Teach me how you foil doom.

-Thank you.
