But I’ve come back for the 9th round well rested,
And my left hook is jaw crushing,
I, me and myself are at war once again,
One of us is bound to be bluffing.
Hoping it’s all for not we are waiting

And regret the feeling of knowing what forever was like,
And monotone the melody of wondering wrong and right, right? right
And write down the words that can't weather the storms in your mind,
And memorize the patterns of your heart beating time after time

You’re a catch at a distance
But I’ve know you for a minute
As busy as your life is
Glad you’ve put me in it

I like to think you know
How things work out for you
And if you could show me
How to be and what path to choose

Because not every night is lit by moon
And no one ever knows the right way
Who can say
What the hell kind of good it’ll do today

We’ve all tried to get you sober
Turn it over in your head
Nothings easy now
You should hate me you can blame me
Find a place to make a bed
Then you can lie down
We wish you’d grow up sometimes

I want to tear your skin
I want to feel where you end
I’m only carnal

I’ve got the taste of you
Stuck to my mouth but I’m blue
Only an option

And bridges don’t take sides
But we can choose to cross them
Or we can choose to burn them

I want to want you
Stars never align for people like us
With my wine stained lips and your way loose morals that we don’t discuss
I was lacking foresight 8 months ago

“I’m burning alive with stress and life”
All drawn behind my chest
There’s no running
I’ll wait for it to take its course
Then be well

These days are slugs over salt
Breathing has become easier
Although the air is more dense and putrid
Self loathing and self pity are sister cavities
I should probably brush more
