Avoidance.
AJ Farruco Jun 15
Don't freakout/
Don't get involved/
You might forgive/
But I don't forget.../

Rip my eyelids off/
Burn the ugliness onto my corneas/
Force myself to stay uncomfortable/
Sleepwalkers keep falling/
Fake woke blindspot kaleidoscope/
And she knows psychology/
My hands are on fire/
Someone's going to lose/
Patience, blood, respect and/or salvation/
Stop lying to yourselves/
Put a leash on raging insecurities/
Before you make someone a murderer.../

Ego death, RIGHT NOW/
For you to live, RIGHT NOW /
And I'll be here waiting/
WHEN AVOIDANCE FAILS/

We are not the same/
He's better; be thankful/
When I was fifteen/
I almost stabbed my stepfather/
Real ****./

Walk.
AJ Farruco Mar 11
Lack of eye contact/
I can tell what kind of man you are/
My way or the highway/
Always on edge, ramping up.../

Flying off the handle/
Don't let me catch you red-handed/
I had a stepfather too/
He strangled Brendon - he's dead now/
You might be a black belt/
But if I catch you with your pants down/
I'll wrap it around your neck/
And show everyone what's up with you/

You can't fool me/
That mad fake smile/
Shaking my hand/
But got nothing to say/
Every time you lose control/
You're closer to losing her/
And you're gonna claim stress/
Then just blame my kids/

NO./

Take responsibility/
Be the adult, if that's what you are/
True respect can't taken by force/
You need to be more patient/
And nobody makes you act crazy./
