I can read your mind
"She's having the time of her life
There in her glittering prime
The lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night"
I can show you lies

'Cause I'm a real tough kid. I can handle my shit
They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it", and I did
"Lights, camera, Bitch, smile
Even when you wanna die"
He said he'd love me all his life

But that life was too short
Breaking down, I hit the floor
All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting more
I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my marks
'Cause I can do it with a broken heart

I'm so depressed I act like it's my birthday every day
I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like a plague
I cry a lot, but I am so productive; it's an art
You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart

I can hold my breath
I've been doing it since he left
I keep finding his things in drawers
Crucial evidence; I didn't imagine the whole thing I'm sure
I can pass this test

'Cause I'm a real tough kid. I can handle my shit
They said, "Babe, you gotta fake it till you make it", and I did
Lights, camera, Bitch smile
Insta-letters for miles
He said he'd love me for all time

But that time was quite short
Breaking down, I hit the floor
All the pieces of me shattered as the crowd was chanting more
I was grinning like I'm winning, I was hitting my marks
'Cause I can do it with a broken heart

I'm so depressed I act like it's my birthday every day
I'm so obsessed with him, but he avoids me like a plague
I cry a lot, but I am so productive; it's an art
You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart

You know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart
You know you're good
You're good
'Cause I'm miserable
And no one even knows!
Try and come for my job...

I am someone who until recent events you shared your secrets with and your location you forgot to turn it off And so I watch as you walk into some bar called The Black Dog and pierce new holes in my heart you forgot to turn it off And it hits me, I just don’t understand

How you don’t miss me in The Black Dog when someone plays the starting line And you jump up but she’s too young to know this song that was intertwined in the magic fabric of our dreaming Old habits die screaming

I move through the world with a heart broken My longings stay unspoken and I may never open up the way I did for you And all of those best laid plans, you said I needed a brave man Then proceeded to play him until I believed it too And it kills me, I just don’t understand

How you don’t miss me in the shower And remember how my rain soaked body was shaking, do you hate me? Was it hazing for a cruel fraternity I pledged And I still mean it, old habits die screaming

Six weeks of breathing clean air, I still miss the smoke Were you making fun of me with some esoteric joke Now I wanna sell my house and set fire to all my clothes And hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons Even if I die screaming And I hope you hear it

And I hope it’s shitty in The Black Dog when someone plays the starting line And you jump up but she’s too young to know this song That was intertwined in the tragic fabric of our dreaming Cause tail between your legs you’re leaving

I still can’t believe it Cause old habits die screaming

I was supposed to be sent away but they forgot to come and get me

I was a functioning alcoholic till nobody noticed my new aesthetic

All of this to say I hope you’re okay but you’re the reason And no one here’s to blame but what about your quiet treason

And for a fortnight there we were forever running to you sometimes ask about the weather

Now you’re in my backyard turned into good neighbours Your wife waters flowers. I wanna kill her.

All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February

I took the miracle move on drug, the effects were temporary

And I love you it’s ruining my life (I love you its ruining my life)

I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)

But I touched you

And for a fortnight there we were forever running to you sometimes ask about the weather

Now you’re in my backyard turned into good neighbours Your wife waters flowers. I wanna kill her.

And for a fortnight there we were together running to you sometimes come and turn my sweater

and now you’re at the mailbox turned into good neighbours My husband is cheating. I wanna kill him.

And I love you it’s ruining my life (I love you its ruining my life)

I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)

But I touched you

And I love you it’s ruining my life (I love you its ruining my life)

I touched you for only a fortnight (I touched you)

But I touched you

I’m calling you but you won’t be called?

Another fortnight lost in America

Going to Florida by the car you won

But it won’t start up till you touch touch touch me

You look like Clara Bow in this light, remarkable

All your life, did you know you’d be picked like a rose?

I’m not trying to exaggerate but I think I might die if it happened, die if it happened to me

No one in my small town thought I’d see the lights of Manhattan

This town is fake but you’re the real thing, breath of fresh air through smoke rings

Take the glory give everything, promise to be dazzling

You look like Stevie Nicks in ‘75, the hair and lips

Crowd goes wild at her fingertips, half moon shine a full eclipse

I’m not trying to exaggerate but I think I might die if I made it, die if I made it

No one in my small town thought I’d meet these suits in LA, they all wanna say

This town is fake but you’re the real thing, breath of fresh air through smoke rings

Take the glory give everything, promise to be dazzling

The crown is stained but you’re the real queen, flesh and blood amongst war machines

You’re the new god we’re worshipping, promise to be dazzling

Beauty is a beast that roars down on all fours, demanding more

Only when your girlish glow flickers just so do they let you know

It’s hell on earth to be heavenly

Them’s the breaks they don’t come gently

You look like Taylor Swift in this light, we’re loving it

You’ve got edge she never did

The future’s bright, dazzling

(deep sigh)

Was any of it true

Gazing at me, starry-eyed

In your Jehova’s witness suit

Who the fuck was that guy

You tried to buy some pills

From a friend of friends of mine

They just ghosted you

Now you know what it feels like

And I don’t even want you back

I just want to know

if rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

And I don’t miss what we had

But could someone give a message

To the smallest man who ever lived?

You hung me on your wall

Stabbed me with your pushpins

In public showed me off

Then sank into stoned oblivion

Cause once your queen had come

You treat her like an also-ran

You didn’t measure up

in any measure of a man

And I don’t even want you back

I just want to know

if rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

And I don’t miss what we had

But could someone give a message

To the smallest man who ever lived?

Were you sent by someone who wanted me dead?

Did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed

Were you were writing a book?

Were you a sleeper cell spy?

In 50 years will this all be declassified?

You'll confess what you did

And I'll say good riddance

‘Cause it wasn't sexy once it wasn’t forbidden

I would've died for your sins

Instead, I just died inside

And you deserve prison, but you won’t get time

You'll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars

You crashed my party and your rental car

You said normal girls were boring

But you were gone by the morning

You kicked out the stage lights but you're still performing

And in plain sight, you hid

But you are what you did

And I'll forget you, but I will never forgive

The smallest man who ever lived

Who's gonna stop us from waltzing back into rekindled flames

if we know the steps anyway?

We embroidered the memories of the time I was away

Stitching, we were just kids, babe

I said I don't mind, it takes time

I thought I was better safe than starry-eyed

I felt a glow like this never before and never since

If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary

You and I go from one kiss to getting married

Still alive killing time at the cemetery, never quite buried

In your suit and tie, in the nick of time

You low down boy, you stand up guy

You holy ghost, you told me I'm the love of your life

You said I'm the love of your life

about a million times

Who's gonna tell me the truth

When you blew in with the winds of fate

and told me I reformed you

When your impressionist paintings of heaven turned out to be fakes,

well, you took me to hell too

And all at once the ink bleeds

A conman sells a fool a get-love-quick scheme

But I felt a hole like this never before and ever since

If you know it in one glimpse, it's legendary

What we thought was for all time, was momentary

Still alive, killing time at the cemetery, never quite buried

You cinephile in black and white

All those plot twists and dynamite

Mister steal-your-girl then make her cry

You said I'm the love of your life

You shit-talked me under a table,

talking rings and talking cradles

I wish I could unrecall how we almost had it all

Dancing phantoms on the terrace,

are they second-hand embarrassed

That I can't get out of bed cause something counterfeit's dead?

It was legendary

It was momentary

It was unneccessary

Should have let it stay buried

Oh, what a valiant roar

What a bland goodbye

The coward claimed he was a lion

I'm combing through the braids of lies

I'll never leave, nevermind

Our field of dreams engulfed in fire

Your arsons match your (?) eyes

And I'll still see it until I die

You're the loss of my life

The who’s who of who’s that is poised for the attack

But my bare hands paved their paths,

you don’t get to tell me about sad

If you wanted me dead you should’ve just said

Nothing makes me feel more alive

So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street, crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

Who’s afraid of little old me?

You should be

The scandal was contained,

the bullet had just grazed

At all costs keep your good name

You don’t get to tell me you feel bad

Is it a wonder I broke?

Let’s hear one more joke

Then we could all just laugh until I cry

So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street, crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

Who’s afraid of little old me?

I was tame I was gentle till the circus life made me mean Don’t you worry folks we took out all her teeth

Who’s afraid of little old me?

Well you should be

You should be, you should be

You should be, you should be

You should be

So tell me everything is not about me, but what if it is?

Then say they didn’t do it to hurt me, but what if they did?

I wanna snarl and show you just how disturbed this has made me

You wouldn’t last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

So all you kids can sneak into my house with all the cobwebs

I’m always drunk on my own tears, isn’t that what they all said?

That I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn

That I’m fearsome, and I’m wretched and I’m wrong

Put narcotics into all of my songs

And that’s why you’re still singing along

So I leap from the gallows and I levitate down your street, crash the party like a record scratch as I scream

Who’s afraid of little old me?

I was tame I was gentle till the circus life made me mean Don’t you worry folks we took out all her teeth

Who’s afraid of little old me?

Well you should be

You should be, you should be

Cause you lured me and you hurt me and you taught me You caged me and then you called me crazy

I am what I am cause you trained me

So who’s afraid of me?

Who’s afraid of little old me?

Who’s afraid of little old me?

You can beat the heat if you beat the charges too

They said I was a cheat, I guess it must be true.

And my friends all smell like weed or little babies.

And this city reeks of driving myself crazy.

Little did you know your home's really only a town you're just a guest in.

So you work your life away just to pay for a time shared down and destined.

Florida, is one hell of a drug.

Florida, can I use you?

The hurricane was my name when it came.

I got drunk and I dared it to wash me away.

Barricaded in the bathroom with a bottle of wine.

Well, me and my ghost, we had a hell of a time.

Yes, I'm haunted but I'm feeling just fine.

All my girls got their lace and their crimes and your cheating husband disappeared.

Well, no one asks any questions here.

So I did my best, too lay to rest

All of the bodies that have ever been on my body and in my mind, they sink into the swamp.

Is that a bad thing to say in a song?

Little did you know your home's really only a town you'll get arrested.

So you pack your life away just to wait out the shit storm back in Texas.

Florida, is one hell of a drug.

Florida, can I use you?

I need to forget, so take me to Florida.

I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida.

Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable.

These dolls are beautiful, fuck me up, Florida.

I need to forget, so take me to Florida.

I've got some regrets, I'll bury them in Florida.

Tell me I'm despicable, say it's unforgivable.

What a crash, what a rush, fuck me up, Florida.

It's one hell of a drug.

It's one hell of a drug.

Love loves me like this,

I don't want to resist,

so take me to Florida.

Little did you know your home's really only a town you're just a guest in.

So you work your life away just to pay for a time stamp down in Destin.

Little did you know your home's really only a town you'll get arrested.

So you pack your life away just to wait out the shit storm back in Texas.

Florida, is one hell of a drug.

I forget how the West was won,

I forget if this was ever fun

I just learned these people only raise you to cage you Sarahs and Hannahs in their Sunday best,

clutching their pearls sighing what a mess

I just learned these people try and save you cause they hate you

Too high a horse for a simple girl to rise above it

They slammed the door on my whole world,

the one thing I wanted

Now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned,

screaming but daddy I love him

I’m having his baby,

no I'm not but you should see your faces

I’m telling him to floor it through the fences,

no I’m not coming to my senses

I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want

Dutiful daughter all my plans were laid,

tendrils tucked into a woven braid

Growing up precocious sometimes means not growing up at all

He was chaos he was revelry,

bedroom eyes like a remedy

Soon enough the elders had convened down at the City Hall

Stay away from her, the saboteurs protested too much  Lord knows the words we never heard,

just screeching tyres and true love

Now I’m running with my dress unbuttoned,

screaming but daddy I love him

I’m having his baby,

no I'm not but you should see your faces

I’m telling him to floor it through the fences,

no I’m not coming to my senses

I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want

I’ll tell you something right now

I’d rather burn my whole life down

than listen to one more second of all this bitching and moaning

I’ll tell you something about my good name,

it’s mine alone to disgrace

I don’t cater to all these vipers dressed in empaths clothing

God save the most judgemental creeps who say they want what’s best for me

Sanctimoniously performing soliloquies I’ll never see

Thinking it can change the beat of my heart when he touches me

and counteract the chemistry and undo the destiny

You ain’t gotta pray for me Me and my wild boy and all this wild joy

If all you want is grey for me, then it's just white noise, then it's just my choice

There’s a lotta people in town that I bestow upon my fakest smiles

Scandal does funny things to pride but brings lovers closer We came back when the heat died down, went to my parents and they came around

All the wine moms are still holding out but fuck ‘em, it’s over

Now I’m dancing in my dress in the sun and even my daddy just loves him

I’m his lady and oh my god you should see your faces

Time, doesn’t it give some perspective?

And no you can’t come to the wedding

I know he’s crazy but he’s the one I want

I’ll tell you something right now

You ain’t gotta pray for me, me and my wild boy and all this wild joy

If all you want is grey for me, then it’s just white noise, it’s my choice

Screaming but daddy I love him

I’m having his baby...no I’m not

But you should see your faces

But oh my god you should see your faces

Did you really beam me up?

In a cloud of sparkling dust

Just to do experiments on

Tell me I was the chosen one

Showed me this world is bigger than us

Then sent me back where I came from

For a moment I knew cosmic love

Now I’m down bad crying at the gym

Everything comes out teenage petulance

Fuck it if I cant have him.

I might just die it would make no difference.

Down bad waking up in blood

Staring at the sky come back and pick me up

Fuck it if I cant have us

I might not just get up, I might stay down bad

Fuck it if I cant have him

Down bad

Fuck it if I cant have him

Did you take all my old clothes

Just to leave me here naked and alone

In a field in my same old town,

that somehow seems so hollow now

They’ll say i'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you

For a moment I was heaven struck

Now im down bad crying at the gym

Everything comes out teenage petulance

Fuck it if I can’t have him.

I might just die it would make no difference

Down bad waking up in blood

Staring at the sky come back and pick me up

Fuck it if I cant have us

I might just not get up,

I might stay down bad

Like i lost my twin

Fuck it if I cant have him, down bad

Down bad, waving at the ship

Fuck it if I cant have him.

I loved your hostile takeovers

Encounters closer and closer

All your indecent exposures

How you dare you say that it’s…

I build you a fort on some planet

Where they can all understand it

How dare you think its romantic

Leaving me safe and stranded

Cause fuck it I was in love

So fuck you if I cant have us

Cause fuck it I was in love

Now I’m down bad crying at the gym

Everything comes out teenage petulance

Fuck it if I cant have him.

I might just die it would make no difference.

Down bad waking up in blood

Staring at the sky come back and pick me up

Fuck it if I cant have us

I might not just get up

I might stay down bad

Fuck it if I cant have him

Down bad

Fuck it if I cant have him

Like I lost my twin

Waving at the ship

Like I lost my twin

Fuck it if I cant have him

You left your typewriter at my apartment

Straight from the tortured poets department

I think some things I’ll never say

Like who uses typewriters anyway?

But your in self sabotage mode

Throwing spikes down on the road

But I’ve seen this episode

And still loved the show

Who else decodes you

And who’s going to hold you Like me?

And who’s going to love you, if not me?

I laughed in your face and said

You’re not Dylan Thomas

I’m not Patti Smith

This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel

We’re modern idiots

Who’s going to hold you like me?

Nobody, No fucking body. Nobody.

You smoked then ate seven bars of chocolate

We declared Charli Puth should be a bigger artist

I scratch your head you fall asleep

Like a tattooed golden retriever

But you awaken with dread

Counting nails in your head

But I’ve left this one

Where you come undone

I chose this cyclone with you

And who’s going to hold you, like me?

And who’s going to love you, like me?

I laughed in your face and said

You’re not Dylan Thomas

I’m not Patti Smith

This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel We’re modern idiots

And who’s going to hold you, like me?

No fucking body Nobody Nobody

Sometimes I wonder if you’re going to screw this up with me

But you tell Lucy you’d kill yourself if I ever leave

And I had said that to Jack about you So I felt seen

Every we know understands why it’s meant to be

Cause we’re crazy.

So tell me, who else is going to love me?

At dinner you take my ring off my middle finger

And put it on the one People put wedding rings on

And that’s the closest I’ve come to my heart exploding.

Who’s going to hold you? ....Me.

Who’s going to know you? ...Me.

And you’re not Dylan Thomas

I’m not Patti Smith

This ain’t the Chelsea Hotel

We’re two idiots

Who’s going to hold you? X10

You left your typewriter at my apartment

Straight from the tortured poets department

Who else decodes you Like me?

What if I told you I’m back?

The hospital was a drag, worst sleep that I ever had

I circled you on a map

I haven’t come around in so long

But I’m coming back so strong

So when I touch down call the amateurs and cut ‘em from the team

Ditch the clowns, get the crown baby I’m the one to beat Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

Hey you, what if I told you we’re cool?

That child’s play back in school is forgiven under my rule

I haven’t come around in so long but

So when I touch down call the amateurs and cut ‘em from the team

Ditch the clowns, get the crown baby I’m the one to beat Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?

These blokes warm the benches we’ve been on a winning streak

He jokes that it’s heroin but this time with an ‘E’

Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me Honestly who are we to fight the alchemy?

Shirts off and your friends lift you up over their heads

Beer sticking to the floor, cheers chanted cause they said There was no chance tryna be the greatest in the league Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me

The smoke cloud billows out his mouth like a freight train through a small town

The jokes that he told across the bar were revolting and far too loud

They shake their heads saying god help her when I tell ‘em he’s my man

But your good lord doesn’t need to lift a finger I can fix him, no really I can

And only I can

The dopamine races through his brain on a six lane Texas highway

His hand so calloused from his pistol softly traces hearts on my face

And I could see it from a mile away a perfect case for my certain skillset

He had a halo of the highest grade, he just hadn’t met me yet

They shake their heads saying god help her when I tell ‘em he’s my man

But your good lord doesn’t need to lift a finger I can fix him, no really I can

And only I can

Good boy, that’s right, come close I’ll show you heaven if you’ll be an angel all night

Trust me I can handle me a dangerous man

No really, I can

They shook their heads saying god help her when I told 'em he’s my man

But your good lord didn’t need to lift a finger I can fix him

No really, I can

Woah maybe I can’t

Drowning in the Blue Nile

he sent me Downtown Lights,

I hadn’t heard it in a while

My boredoms bone deep,

this cage was once just fine

Am I allowed to cry?

I dream of cracking locks,

throwing my life to the wolves

or the ocean rocks

Crashing into him tonight,

he’s a paradox

I’m seeing visions

am I bad? Or mad? Or wise?

What if he’s written ‘mine’ on my upper thigh only in my mind?

One slip I’m falling back into the hedge maze but what a way to die

I keep recalling things we never did

Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our tryst

Without ever touching his skin,

how can I be guilty as sin?

I keep these longings locked

in lowercase inside a vault

Someone told me

there’s no such thing as bad thoughts,

only your actions talk

These fatal fantasies

giving way to laboured breath

taking all of me

We’ve already done it in my head

If it’s make believe,

why does it feel like a vow

we’ll both uphold somehow?

What if he’s written ‘mine’ on my upper thigh only in my mind?

One slip I’m falling back into the hedge maze oh what a way to die

My bedsheets are ablaze,

I screamed his name

Building up like waves crashing over my grave

Without ever touching his skin

how can I be guilty as sin?

What if I roll the stone away?

They’re gonna crucify me anyway

What if the way you hold me

is actually what’s holy?

If long suffering propriety

is what they want from me

they don’t know how you’ve haunted me so stunningly

I choose you and me, religiously

What if he’s written ‘mine’ on my upper thigh only in my mind?

I keep recalling things we never did

Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our tryst

Without ever touching his skin,

how can I be guilty as sin?

He sent me Downtown Lights,

I hadn’t heard it in a while

Am I allowed to cry?

now pretty baby

i'm running back home to you.

fresh out the slammer

i know who my first call will be to.

fresh out the slammer

another summer, taking cover, rolling thunder.

he don't understand me.

splintered back in winter, silent dinners,

bitter he was with her in dreams.

grey and blue and fights and tunnels,

handcuffed to the spell i was under.

for just one hour of sunshine.

years of labor, locks and ceilings

in the shade of how he was feeling

but it's gonna be alright, i did my time.

now pretty baby i'm running back home to you.

fresh out the slammer i know who my first call will be to.

fresh out the slammer.

camera flashes, welcome bashes, get the matches, toss the ashes off the bench.

as i said in my letters now that i know better i will never lose my baby again.

my friends tried but i wouldn't hear it, watched me daily disappearing for just one glimpse of his smile.

all those nights he kept me going swirled you into all of my poems. now we're at the starting line, i did my time.

now pretty baby i'm running.

to the house we still wait up in that porchlight gleams.

to the one who says i'm the girl of his american dreams.

and no matter what i've done it wouldn't matter anyway

ain't no way i'm gonna screw up now that i know what's at stake

here.

at the park where we used to sit on children's swings.

wearing imaginary rings.

but it's gonna be alright, i did my time.

I saw in my mind ferry lights through the mist

I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift

Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away

My spine split from carrying us up the hill

Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill

I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe

Thinking how much sad did you

think I had, did you think I had in me?

Oh the tragedy.

So long London.

You’ll find someone.

I didn’t opt in to be your odd man out

I founded the club she’s heard great things about

I left all I knew you left me at the house by the Heath

I stopped CPR, after all it’s no use

The spirit was gone we would never come to

And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free

For so long, London

Stitches undone

Two graves, one gun

I’ll find someone

And you say I abandoned the ship but I was going down with it

My white knuckle dying grip holding tight to your quiet resentment

And my friends said it isn’t right to be scared

Every day old love affair, every breath feels like rarest air When you’re not sure if he wants to be there

So how much sad did you think I had,

did you think I had in me?

How much tragedy?

Just how low did you think I’d go ‘fore I’d self implode?

‘Fore I’d have to go be free?

You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?

I died on the altar waiting for the proof

You sacrificed us to the gods of your bluest days

And I’m just getting colour back into my face

I’m just mad as hell cause I loved this place for

So long, London

Had a good run

A moment of warm sun

But I’m not the one

So long, London

Stitches undone

Two graves, one gun

You’ll find someone

Oh, here we go again
The voices in his head
Called a ring to end our days of wild
The sickest army doll purchased at the mall
Rivulets to send my plastic smile

But you should've seen it when he first got me

My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh woah-oh oh
I'm queen of sandcastles he destroys, oh woah-oh oh
Cause it fit too right
Puzzle pieces in the dead of night
Should've know it was a matter of time, oh woah-oh oh
My boy only breaks his favorite toys, oh, oh, oh

There was a litany of reasons why
We could've played for keeps this time
I know I'm just repeating myself
With me back on my shelf
But first pull the string and I'll tell you that he runs because he loves me (he loves me)

Cause you should've seen it when he first got me

My boy only breaks his favorite toys, toys, oh woah-oh oh
I'm queen of sandcastles he destroys, oh woah-oh oh
Cause I knew too much
There was danger in the heat in the my touch
It's all forever so he smashed it up
My boy only breaks his favorite toys, oh woah-oh oh

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, once I fix me
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, he's gonna miss me
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, once I fix me
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, he's gonna miss me

Just say when I'll play again
He was my best friend
Down at the sand lot
I felt more when
We played pretend
Than with all the Kens
Cause he took my by box
Stole my tortured heart
Left all these broken parts
And told me I'm better off
But I'm not, I'm not
I'm not

In Summation:

At this hearing, I stand before my fellow members of the tortured poets department. with a summary of my findings. a debrief, a detailed rewinding. for the purpose of warning. for the sake of reminding

as you might all unfortunately recall, i had been struck with a case of a restricted humanity which explains my plea here today of temporary insanity.

you see, the pendulum swings. oh, the chaos it brings leads the caged beast to do the most curious things.

lovers spend years denying what's ill fated, resentment rotting away, galaxies we created

stars placed and glued, meticulously by hand, next to the ceiling fan

tried wishing on comets tried dimming the shine. tried to orbit his planet. some stars never align. and in one conversation. i tore down the whole sky

spring sprung forth with dazzling freedom hues then a crash from the skylight bursting through. something old, someone hallowed, who told me he could be brand new.

and so i was out of the oven and into the microwave. out of the slammer and into a tidal wave. how gallant to save the empress from her gilded tower swinging a sword he could barely lift but loneliness struck at that fateful hour

low hanging fruit on his wine stained lips

he never even scratched the surface of me. none of them did.

'in summation, it was not a love affair!'i screamed while bringing my fists to my coffee ringed desk it was a mutual manic phase. it was self harm. it was house and then cardiac arrest

a smirk creeps onto this poet's face because it's the worst men that i write best

and so i enter into evidence, my tarnished coat of arms. my muses, acquired like bruises. my talismans and charms. the tick tick tick of love bombs. my veins of pitch black ink. all's fair in love and poetry
